Applications for a License are available on the Business Licensing Authority's (BLA) website.  See below under 'Conveyancers Guide from BLA'  for the link to the site.

RMIT TRUST ACCOUNTING SHORT COURSE REGISTRATIONS

Registrations will open for the successful Trust Accounting short course, which will be offered by RMIT University on Satuday 12th July and Saturday 19th July between 10-3.  Attendance at both days is compulsory to cover the required competency under the Conveyancers Act and regulations necessary for licensing.  This course is designed for Conveyancers who have already completed a relevant qualification and only need the Trust Accounting competency to be eligible for a licence.  Other applicants will be considered such as Conveyancers without a full qualification who intend to apply for the VETASSESS process, but do not want to be assessed for the Trust Accounting module by VETASSESS.

The cost of the two day course is $475.00 per person.  Attendees will receive a Certificate of Competence upon successful completion of the relevant assessment.

For registration, please forward your details to Surjadi Bunjamin on 9925 5408 or at surjadi.bunjamin@rmit.edu.au .   Please include your name, telephone number (day/AH/mobile) and email address.

CONVEYANCERS GUIDE FROM BLA

The Business Licensing Authority (BLA) has published a 'Conveyancers Guide' to assist the public and potential Licensees in relation to the forthcoming introduction of the Conveyancers Act.  The BLA tells us that the Application form referred to in the Guide will be available by 24th June 2008.

CONGRATULATIONS!  E-CONVEYANCING GOES LIVE

Congratulations are in order for A.I.C. Members, Gayle Nancarrow of GLN Conveyancing and David Cummins of Rainbow Conveyancing who, on May 12th 2008, successfully achieved the first e-conveyancing matter in Australia (and possibly the world).  After many years work and consultation with Land Exchange Victoria, the first transaction took place at 10am on line, involving settlement, financial settlement and registration of the Title in the purchaser's name all of which was finalised within 30 minutes.

The dedicated team involved in the Stage 2 Pilot are to be congratulated and will go down in history.

VETASSESS (Vocational Educational Training Assessment Services), in conjunction with CAV and BLA have developed a service to assess experienced Conveyancers against the required competencies which make up a significant portion of the Diploma of Financial Services (Conveyancing).

Application is online and the assessment will be conducted through a process whereby applicants submit evidence to demonstrate competency against the standards, sit a test and attend an interview with a qualified assessor.

The VETASSESS process is aimed at experienced Conveyancers and eliminates the commitment and costs relating to training in areas already familiar to the applicant.  VETASSESS award successful candidates with a nationally recognised 'Statement of Attainment' which can be used for both BLA licensing purposes and to gain exemptions when enrolling in the full Diploma or Advanced Diploma qualification.
