I was absolutely amazed at the assistance and guidance I received from Erin in my NQF 4 RPL Qualification, right up to the end. A+++. Thank you BrainTrust!

BrainTrust did a thorough workout on all the contents of the Real Estate Industry. The excellent presentation of the course ensure the inscriber a wide range of knowledge. Another word for BrainTrust could only be “Professionalism.” An experience to witness.

Choosing to do my Real Estate Qualification with BrainTrust Business Training was the best decision on my life. A huge thank you to the facilitators and Erin Shapiro for supporting my learning journey. The team was very professional and very helpful.

I did my NQF 4 RPL through BrainTrust and found them very professional. Our facilitator helped tremendously and made the whole process manageable. I am glad I chose to do this Qualification through them. I highly recommend their services.

BrainTrust are the best and deserve every one of the 5 stars they are given! If it weren’t for their excellent tuition, I wouldn’t have passed my PDE 4 exam the first time. Don’t use anyone else!

Allison Ried, PDE 4 Student

 
 
 

Excellent experience, BrainTrust’s response time is exceptional, quick and efficient. They answer every question and keep sending updates on a regular. The recommendations from others have been really good. I would really recommend them to anyone.

I was a Candidate Property Practitioner before I registered with BrainTrust Business Training for my PDE 4 exam, which I wrote on 26 August. I called their office before registration in order to get more information, and I was kindly assisted by Madel Visser, who explained everything to me and even sent me all the details via email. I then paid for my registration and she added me in her WhatsApp group with other candidates who were preparing for the same exam. I joined the group on 3 August and she has been nothing but truly supporting to all of us; answering all our questions when frustrated and even escalating our queries where she didn’t have the answers for us. The group is still active even today, way after the said exam was written, and we have passed because of the service and support they gave us. The training was really worth it for me, clearly understood and very well laid out for us. The additional supporting materials they gave us was also very informative and came in handy during the exam. I highly recommend BrainTrust Business training to anyone who might want to pursue their careers in Real Estate because I am a Professional Property Practitioner because of their training, and I’m also looking forward to obtaining my PDE 5 through them as well. Keep up the great work BT Team, and all the best with everything you do. Thank you guys so much!

Salmina Mothapo, Kwena R Realty

 
 
 

They are the best, they have an amazing selection of topics, excellent tutors, and the PDE 5 with Anemi Leach was outstanding. As a busy successful Professional Property Practitioner I utilize and attend their trainings regularly to keep up to date and informed. I highly recommend the BrainTrust Business Training Team!

Ruth Goodman, Dormehl Phalane Property Group

 
 
 

From the first contact with BrainTrust until I handed in my NQF 4 File I can only recommend and congratulate BrainTrust for their professionalism and support. Being it the facilitator, the support system, or the admin team. I was very well treated and well informed of my course content. I feel very confident with my newly acquired knowledge as a Candidate Property Practitioner. And loved the “human touch and understanding.” This made me feel important and very well supported when I needed it. You won’t be disappointed joining this company and I have made friends on the group which is a bonus. Thank you BrainTrust for my initial journey in the Real Estate Industry.

Gabriele Simpson, Just Property

 
 
 

I have started in the Real Estate industry in January 2022. I’ve completed my NQF 4 this year through BrainTrust. What an excellent team who was always willing to assist and go the extra mile. I will recommend them to any person who wants to develop their skills or further their education. Thank you BrainTrust Team!

Anita Willemse, Mikaya Properties

 
 
 

I highly recommend BrainTrust as a training academy for all new Property Practitioners, as well as Practitioners that have been in the industry for years. as a Principal Property Practitioner, I regularly attend their training and always eave having gained more knowledge and insight.

Great preparation for my NQF 4! Ashley is a great teacher and makes it very interesting with many practical example!

I would recommend any Property Practitioner to use BrainTrust! The courses they offer are very informative and their staff is always eager to assist and very friendly.

Marisa Robertson, The Property Angels

 
 
 

Thank you, Madel and BrainTrust, I am gradually growing into the Industry and totally believe that the more I attend these Valuable Workshops, the more I get to be acquainted into the Sector. The work is enormous and I feel overwhelmed most the time. One of the lessons I learned as a young star was that: If you want to consume an elephant, do it bit by bit. After all you can not swallow it whole! Thanks a lot!

Tebogo Lekoatsipa, BrainTrust Student

 
 
 

I must say it was great to do the training and very insightful. I learnt a lot and loved that Anemi ran through all the processes and the acts with implications and dos/dont’'s. 

Shama Rawjee, Rentals in Real Estate Workshop Attendee

 
 
 

I wish to thank you for your outstanding administration of this entire program, your support and efficiency is top shelf. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you on this qualification. Many thanks and I certainly hope that we will meet again in the future.

Ed Harris, Certified NQF 5

 
 
 

I enjoyed the webinar, and it was exceptionally informative and well presented.

Sary Ansermino, RE/Max Heritage, Attendee of De-Mystifying Real Estate & NQF 4

 
 
 

Thanks for the great course. I was a bit nervous about all of this but after Friday I feel positive and comfortable with the Logbook. The course was very enlightening!

Charne Fourie, Friend in Rentals

 
 
 

I have to say that out of the five different companies that I have been in contact with, you have been the most helpful and easiest to communicate with. I really appreciate that you helped me with all my little questions and trie to make suggestions to see how this will work out the best for me since I am pregnant.

Margot Odendaal

 
 
 

The Rental Housing Act & Lease Agreements webinar was a good workshop and covered the important aspects of the lease agreement. I found the Facilitator very patient and he was very clear and precise. These courses are really important as they keep us focused on the important issues and we are able to answer questions from tenants and landlords with confidence. Keep them coming.

Janet Jones, Re/Max Advantage

 
 
 

As a new Intern Agent to the area of rentals, I certainly feel empowered and motivated to start on my Intern Logbook.

Shireen Warne, Intern Estate Agent

 
 
 

The Intern Logbook Webinar certainly made the completion of the logbook a lot easier and clearer, as opposed to what the EAAB has put out to Estate Agencies/Interns.

Terry Morrison, Intern Estate Agent

 
 
 

I just want to say I connected fine and that the training was very informative, especially for me as a new sectional title sales Agent. I learned a lot about CSOS, PPP’s, complex rules, Trustees, etc. It is good to know and understand the history and the rules of the complex. It is my first time attending Paul’s training. I think he is good, clear and great at timekeeping. He is knowledgeable and understands the legality too. I love that he gives examples to give us more understanding. He is easy to follow.

Rofhiwa Vele, Intern Estate Agent

 
 
 

I am so happy! Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it a lot. I need to especially thank Ashley and Anita, they really helped me so much and I am forever grateful.

Surica Booysen, NQF 4

 
 
 

Thanks a million Erin. You have made me a star at BrainTrust Business Training. I will definitely tell all my friends and anyone that requires the Qualifications to go through you.

Olumide Adedayo, Bianca Properties

 
 
 

Renate was excellent - she is approachable and was always available for assistance on queries and made each class interesting and enjoyable. She is an expert in her field and no question went unanswered. She is knowledgeable and can motivate any of her statements with facts, she created a real sense of excitement around the Real Estate industry.

Susan Van Wyk, One Call Properties

 
 
 

Renate Oosthuizen was the best part of my NQF 4 training - she made it easy to understand and enjoyable! 10 out of 10, thank you. This was the most helpful think in my property career. I cannot imagine that there are Agents out there who have not done this course - they are poorer for it. I almost skipped it as I would probably have received an exemption due to my previous marketing degree and legal experience in law firm conveyancing, however I am so glad that I didn’t!

Lynn Telfer, RE/MAX Executive

 
 
 

I think I should be the one thanking you for your services, and the knowledge I’ve gained through BrainTrust. Thank you, I am looking forward to our awards ceremony.

Lungile Ngubane, Lehong Real Estate

 
 
 

Renate went beyond what was needed and pushed the entire class to perform. Excellent work!

Shaman Balraj, Vartrust Real Estate

 
 
 

I thoroughly enjoyed the way in which Anemi presented. I understood clearly what was required and would highly recommend the course.

Sally Andrews, Vered Estates

 
 
 

Thank you so so so much for the great news, and I also just want to say a huge thank you to you and your amazing team for all your assistance in helping me to achieve this and for the guidance you have given me. You guys are really dimes and an amazing team of providers and lecturers! I will definitely recommend you to all my fellow Interns and friends wanting to do their Qualifications.

Bernard Fisher, LWD Real Estate

 
 
 

Firstly, I want to say, I am so impressed with your presentation. I am well prepared and have so much confidence now and actually looking forward to write the examination. I completed the theory, I scheduled the last week to work through the past papers. Next year, I will for sure subscribe for more online workshops! Secondly, I am now so motivated that when I received the email below, I decided that I want to be an external marker. Thank you!

Estee Jansen, Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International

 
 
 

Thank you for your time, I enjoyed every second of the online preparation workshop. It was well explained, and your facilitators voice is very clear.

Estee Jansen, Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International

 
 
 

Good morning Erin, I have signed up and paid for both the online preparation course as well as the face-to-face workshop. I have started working through the online course and it is amazing! Thank you. I’m starting to feel a lot more confident about the exam

Alison Reid, PPRE

 
 
 

Ashley Habib was incredible. She is extremely knowledgable and always goes that extra mile when it comes to assisting her students. Ashley engages very well with her students and always encourages an open dialogue; an outstanding facilitator.

Ronald Read, Law Real Estate

 
 
 

I found Ashley to be an absolute sensation. She is highly knowledgable, experienced and approachable, and has been contactable around the clock for us. I have also found her classes highly encouraging and her teaching techniques/styles enjoyable.

Greg Schiffer, Pam Golding Properties

 
 
 

Thank you so much! All the encouragement and support from Renate give me the motivation to push through and work hard to qualify. Before the NQF 4, I would not have stayed in Real Estate, but after this course I know that this is where I want to be.

Annamarie De Kock, Jawitz Properties Brakpan

 
 
 

Wow! This is going to empower us to give our investors mind blowing stats! Thank you!

Trevor Toerien, Chas Everitt

 
 
 

Without Renate and the training material from BrainTrust, the NQF 4 would not have been achievable. Thank you for everything.

Susan Van Den Berg, Mountain Estates

 
 
 

Thank you so much for the great news and all the communication to us all! The course is very well run through your company and I will definitely recommend you to others. The feedback from Renate and the assessors are always complimentary and encouraging. Thank you for all your support and assistance in guiding me through the course Renate! I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Just a short note to thank you and the team at BrainTrust for the training and assistance in getting me through the Board Exam. The well structured approach of the workshop is excellent and simplified the preparation. Renate is a superb facilitator - I have written to her personally to thank her. Good luck with your future work and I will certainly refer new Agents to you!

Jeff Slome, Cherno Davis Properties

 
 
 

I found Ashley to be very knowledgable and informed with many practical illustrations throughout the day. I enjoyed her teaching method, and use of casual English; with constant questions and answers to help us understand Learning Unit 1.

Anonymous Submission, NQF 4 Student

 
 
 

Ashley is patient, experienced, supportive and knowledgable. She was truly great.

Anonymous Submission, NQF 4 Student

 
 
 

Anemi is awesome. She goes the extra mile and ensures that everyone is on the same page. She helps you to understand when you are unsure, and she brings a new and fresh attitude to class that makes it comfortable for everyone and it comes across as a fun thing and not a huge mountain.

Anonymous Submission, NQF 5 Student

 
 
 

Thank you for updating me on the status of my work. The content of the course has been interesting, and I have gained lots of valuable information. The assignments have been a good way to consolidate the learnings.

Dennin Smith, Jawitz Properties Dunkeld

 
 
 

I have found BrainTrust’s course notes to be extremely satisfactory. Our facilitator is very thorough with her presentation. Focus on detail is great.

Anonymous Review, NQF 4 Student

 
 
 

I wanted to say that I attempted to do this Qualification through another provider, and found them to be completely impersonal and unreachable, and your approach has been fantastic and very helpful, and Meryl was a great lecturer.

Deborah Kolnik, Jawitz Properties Eastern Cape

 
 
 

The Money Laundering seminar was excellent and very informative. I really enjoyed it, the presenter was excellent and made it very easy for us to understand. The interaction between the presenter and the learners was excellent.

Renny Moagi, Brits Property Shop

 
 
 

Thank you so much for all your trouble and effort in getting us moderated and verified through Services SETA. Hats off to you!

I, Broker Owner of RE/MAX Premier, would hereby like to express my appreciation for the great standard of training conducted with my Agents by BrainTrust Business Training. The feedback I received from the staff was as follows: The training was informative and professionally presented, and the trainer was patient and explained all questions in detail. I would like to thank you for your professional services rendered.

Kevin Jacobs, RE/MAX Premier

 
 
 

In starting a new Estate Agency earlier this year, I had the task of finding an accredited, reliable training company that offered both Logbook training and NQF 4 Qualifications at an affordable price. I had a short list of three companies that I compared across all training requirements. BrainTrust offers good value for money, and were really excellent in offering information for our Agents on site at one of out show house locations. A special mention to Vangelis, whom we dealt with, that went out of his way to accommodate our working situation. He gladly visited out site and gave a presentation to all our Agents. He also offered various solutions for our NQF 4 training to accommodate the Agents. Their books were delivered on site, and the first two hour session was conducted on site at our offies. It is really refreshing that your company takes the clients requirements into account. I would recommend BrainTrust Business Training to all my colleagues in a heartbeat.

Michelle Schwegmann, Valulink Real Estate Pty (Ltd.)

 
 
 

Thanks for the training session today. I definitely recommend your guys’ services. The training session was informative, easy going, direct, and useful. Walked out feeling inspired. Thanks.
