Residential Real Estate Transactions Tutoring and Exam Prep
This is the course that stops more students than any other, and the reason is arithmetic rather than difficulty. Twenty modules and roughly 150 hours of study, inside the same 21 week window Course 1 gave you for 40. We cut it down and sequence it so the size stops being the problem.
- Twenty modules, around 150 hours on average
- Still only 21 weeks of course access
- Three hour invigilated theory exam at the end
What Course 2 actually covers
Twenty modules that follow a residential deal from the first conversation with a client through to closing. Listed here in that order, because that is how it is taught and how it is examined.
Representing clients, and documenting the representation agreement
Residential property types, ownership and planning
Factors impacting residential real estate negotiations
The financial side of buying and selling, and the professionals involved
Residential construction: structural components
Residential construction: mechanical systems
Residential construction: internal and external finishes
Preparing to market a residential property
How property conditions affect your disclosure obligations
Property value and listing price considerations
Representing a seller client in the sale of their property
Viewing properties and advising buyers on properties of interest
The offer process and the regulatory obligations around it
Introducing the residential Agreement of Purchase and Sale
The offer plan, and writing conditions into an agreement
Countering an offer, and working with competing offers
Additional sale related legal obligations, and completing the transaction
Look at the hours rather than the module count. Course 1 averages around 40 hours of study. Course 2 averages around 150, and the access window does not get any longer. That is roughly seven hours every week for twenty one weeks with nothing going wrong, which is precisely why so many people stall here.
Where students lose marks in the Course 2 exam
The Course 2 exam is three hours across a syllabus almost four times the size of Course 1. These are the four things we see cost people the pass.
- Falling behind early, then trying to cover twenty modules in the last three weeks
- Treating the Agreement of Purchase and Sale as one topic when the course gives it five modules and the exam weights it accordingly
- Writing conditions that are nearly right, which in this exam is simply wrong
- Skipping the three construction modules because they feel like a different subject, then meeting them throughout the paper
How we tutor Course 2
The aim here is not to teach you 150 hours faster. It is to make sure the hours you do have land on the parts that carry the marks.
Taught in transaction order
We follow the deal from representation agreement to closing, so each module attaches to the one before it instead of sitting in isolation as twenty separate things to remember.
The agreement, drilled hardest
Five modules cover the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, conditions, countering and competing offers. We spend a disproportionate share of our time there, because the exam does too.
Construction as vocabulary
Structure, mechanical systems and finishes taught as the language you need to describe a property accurately, not as engineering. It becomes far less intimidating that way.
- Twenty modules condensed into notes you can realistically finish
- A weekly pace set against your access window, not a generic schedule
- Timed three hour practice so the length of the paper is not a surprise
- Honest advice on whether the optional review sessions are worth it for you
Questions about Course 2
How long does Course 2 take to complete?
The official guidance puts the average at around 150 hours, with a range roughly between 70 and 180 depending on your background. You still only get 21 weeks of access.
That works out at about seven hours a week for the whole window if you hit the average and nothing goes wrong. Most people who fall behind here did not misjudge the material, they misjudged the arithmetic.
Why do so many students struggle with the Course 2 exam?
Because it is the first point in the program where volume becomes the real obstacle. Course 1 can be absorbed in a few focused weeks. Course 2 cannot, and the habits that got you through the first exam quietly stop working.
The second reason is weighting. Students spread their revision evenly across twenty modules when the exam does not treat them evenly, and the agreement and offer modules carry far more than their share.
Are the optional Facilitated Review Sessions worth paying for?
Sometimes, and we will give you a straight answer rather than a sales one. They run 21 hours across several virtual sessions and cover the more complex topics with a program facilitator.
They suit somebody who has worked through the material and wants the difficult parts reinforced in a group. They are much less useful if you are behind on the reading, because you cannot review what you have not yet met. In that situation the hours are usually better spent with a tutor working to your own plan.
Can I get through Course 2 while working full time?
Yes, and most of our students do, but it needs planning rather than optimism. Seven hours a week has to come from somewhere specific in your calendar.
What we do is set the pace against your real week and front load the heavy modules, so a bad fortnight later on does not put the access window out of reach.
