Course Details:

This is an extremely comprehensive course that covers in great detail the whole process of buying your first home and then moving on after you have got your foot on the property ladder to serious property investment.

Whatever the current state of the Irish property market, this course transcends present day conditions to teach you how to buy-to-let, let-to-buy, renovate, self-build and even buy abroad.

Here will be discussed opportunities you may not ever have considered before or have even been aware off - opportunities that exist no matter what the state of the property market. But are not advised or encouraged to cut corners or take un-necessary risks. Rather are you encouraged to methodically progress through the course so that by engaging in the various topics in this manner you will understand the tremendous advantage of self-assessment and careful planning.

Specifically the following topics are covered:

• Buying versus Renting.
• Personal Assessment.
• Apartment or house.
• The importance of location.
• An investment property.
• Buy-to-let.
• Buying property abroad.
• Build your own.
• Borrowing money.
• Mortgages and consumer rights.
• Finding suitable property.
• Viewing property.
• Making an offer.
• Surveying the property.
• Solicitors Closing and completion of purchase.

Optional:

Personality/Intelligence Test

All our students have the option to take this revealing test for an additional cost of €25.00.

The test asks questions to determine:

• Are you a 'Take-Charge' type?
   
• Are you a manipulative person?
   
• Are you a real friend when the going gets rough?
   
• How popular are you?
   
• Could you be your own boss?
   
• What's your leadership potential?

The objective is not only to help you achieve greater personal and professional success - but to show you how to get what you really want out of life.

Management/Leadership Skills Test

All students of this course have the option to take a Management/Leadership Test for an additional cost of €50.00. This test is conducted on our behalf by Verax international. This test has to be taken on line and the results will be sent directly to each student by email usually within 3/4 working days.

We urge you to complete this test as it will provide you with invaluable help and guidance in enabling you to get the most out for your learning. The assessment sent to you when you complete the test will not count in any way to your eventual qualification. It is intended to enable you to understand your strengths and weaknesses and so concentrate on those parts of the course that are most valuable to you.

You may think that you are already aware of these. However, systematic research shows that just over half the population are unaware of their real strengths, let alone their real weaknesses.

This test provides you with a systematic way of assuring these for yourself. Answer honestly. There are no right or wrong answers. Only you will see the results.

The test will allow you to assess your own performance against 16 key management/leader competencies – such as customer focus, decision making, creativity and team working – which are valued by employers and which are very important for effective performance as a manager or team leader. There is one test for managers in the public sector and a separate test for all other managers. Depending on which version chosen, your performance is benchmarked either against 15,000 or so managers in the database or against public sector managers only.

In summary, this unique test will show you what to stop doing (or do less of) and what to start doing (or do more of) in order to become more effective in your current role/activity. In effect, you are told what you need to do to become a more effective manager and team leader and most important of all, how to do it.

Good luck with your studies.
