THE DER WALT ACADEMY STORY Sir Francis Bacon attributed to the phrase "Knowledge is Power' which dates back to 1597, is very often used and even believed. Very true words, indeed, but knowledge without action is really useless… Directed to the Principal: Being a principal or Franchise owner carries a great deal of courage and responsibility. Being in business with successful Real Estate Agents, who thrive and grow their businesses, and yours, is why you are here in the first place, isn’t it? A combination of a knowledgeable Estate Agent who also adheres to the Code of Conduct of this industry is what will really grow your business and the company’s reputation from strength to strength. THE BIRTH OF THE INDUCTION COURSE During 2018 The Induction Course was born. Initially to assist my Logbook students with the necessary basics of the Real Estate industry, and after 18 months spent on research, permissions obtained from attorneys, auditors & bond originators it developed into a 130 page, comprehensive & explanatory guide, covering the complete and full spectrum of topics specifically for Real Estate Agents and their daily activities. Knowing very well that the completion of the Logbook can be a daunting task, sometimes accompanied by frustration and lack of sufficient knowledge of where to start, not even mentioning time-consuming, and keeping us away from what we love to do – Selling Properties! We are here to assist all Principals & Intern Agents with the compulsory, prescribed Induction training, which will ultimately be the foundation for the completion of the Logbook, which is compulsory to complete within the first 12 months of the Internship. MESSAGE TO INTERN ESTATE AGENTS The Induction Course also forms a major part of the Portfolio of Evidence required in the Logbook from the EAAB, where the Intern has to complete and submit assignments and projects. This course supplies 80% of the info needed to complete the compulsory Logbook from EAAB.
