CHED: BS Real Estate Management begins Academic Year 2012-2013
Everyone knows that Professional Regulatory of Real Estate Service (PRC-PRBRES) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) have been aggressively working on the finalization and soon-to-be implementation of a 4-year bachelor's degree course that capable universities and colleges in the Philippines can offer, beginning Academic Year 2012-2013. True enough, by virtue of the 380th Regular Commission En Ban Resolution No. 243-2011 dated September 26, 2011, CHED Memorandum Order (MO) No. 28 was signed and released - an explanatory writing of the Bachelor of Science in Real Estate Management, or shortly called, BS REM.
In the said memorandum, policies, standards and guidelines were specified, signaling that, indeed, the much awaited FOUR-YEAR COURSE for Real Estate Practice - one that is under direct educational jurisdiction of CHED and licensure accountability of PRBRES - is final and real. Should there be a first set of enrollees for this course next year, the participating schools shall produce its first set of BS REM graduates in 2016, and PRBRES shall hold it's first licensure examination for 4-year BS REM graduates on the same year.
However, PRBRES has not reported any dismissal of the 2012 Broker's and Appraiser's Licensure Examinations, tentatively scheduled on March and July, respectively. After a very successful first run of board examination under sole organization of PRBRES, some are even sighting that from 2012 until 2015 or 2016, licensure examinations will still proceed, with the same requirement as RA 9646 imposed: that an application for registration with examination must be a college graduate.
Whether fact or fiction, bottomline is - it is NOW or NEVER. With the pacing that CHED and PRBES have been showing since RA 9646 was born in 2009, it is not impossible for them to quickly alter previous decisions on licensure examinations between 2012 to 2016. No one can deny nor confirm if 2012 will REALLY be the last for now.
THUS, we encourage all interested examination takers to TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY NOW, or REGRET LATER. Four years is too far of a comparison from the current 120-hour requirement. Some say it boils down to whether you are a successful seller or not, or how many transactions you are able to close, however, there is no better feeling of performing a lifetime of money-making career THE RIGHT WAY. While there is a saying that goes, "no harm, no foul," would you rather be guilt-free than take the risk of getting caught as a "colorum practitioner?"
With the turnout of events, specifically the emergence of this Memorandum, strengthening the 4-year course BS REM, an individual who aspires to be part of the real estate industry must not think too long anymore.
TAKE THE FIRST STEP.
TAKE THE EXAMINATION.
TAKE SUCCESS WITH YOU.
CES Academy is currently accepting reservations for its BATCH 4 seminar starting this November 25. For details, please click here.
Some prefer a January-February schedule, because it is closer to the proposed examination date. However, we cannot guarantee that classes will be open on those months. Should there be, SLOTS will be limited.
