05The credits

The credits, and who awards them

Level 3 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by Awarding Body for the Built Environment rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

What you would be collecting

Behave in an ethical manner in all aspects of businessBring tenancy agreements to an endConduct accompanied viewings of propertiesDevelop yourself in the job roleEmployment rights and responsibilities in the property sectorFacilitate the maintenance and repair of managed propertiesImplement check-out procedures and dispersals in a letting environmentImplement pre-entry and hand-over procedures for property to let

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

The Coach The Coach · your practice partner Illustration
The Coach You have to open the conversation in “Negotiate tenancies”. Say the first line to me, exactly as you would say it to them.
You I wanted to have a quick chat about how things have been going recently.
The Coach That is the warning shot, and they will spend it worrying. Try the version that says what this is about in the first sentence.
The same lesson on the real thing: the conversation in the middle, the thinking ladder on the left, and the criteria each answer is evidencing on the right.
  • Rehearse the conversation Apply

    “Negotiate tenancies” is a conversation before it is a document. You have it with Zavmo playing the other person, badly at first, then again once you know what you actually want to say.

  • Pitch it Evaluate

    “Monitor changes and assess their impact in the local property market” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.

  • Bring your own plan Create

    For “Implement check-out procedures and dispersals in a letting environment” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.

  • Draft the real one Create

    You do “Implement pre-entry and hand-over procedures for property to let” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
