Structured 4-month course

Because of demand for a study schedule linked to this course, we now offer a ‘structured’ course in notarial practice.

The main feature of this course is the recommended 4-month study schedule.  This schedule is a time-management tool that will help you to achieve your learning goals.  (We recommend 4 months to study for the notarial practice exam.  However, you can also work through this guided course at your own pace – either faster or slower.)  
 

Benefits of the structured course
  1. Receive guidance and structure 
    This realistic study schedule incorporates theory and mock exam exercises.
  2. Pay as you study
    Flexible, affordable payment options. You can pay for Module 1-3, Module 4-6, or Module 7 when you’re ready to receive your study material.
  3. Recordings only
    This course is available as recordings for your convenience.  You can work through the recordings at your own pace.  Recommended: Work through the course theory (videos and notes) and mock exam exercises over the course of 3 months and build in 1 month to study independently. 
  4. Practice exam questions from past papers
    The practical component of each module allows you the opportunity to practice exam questions so that you can understand and apply the theory no matter how questions are phrased in the paper.
  5. Register and start studying at any time
    Legal practitioners who are working full-time and studying for the exam face serious time constraints.  Register and receive your material as soon as you’re ready to start studying.
