Real Estate Educators Unhappy with Distance Learning Regulations
There is growing controversy in the real estate industry regarding the regulations and costs to create distance learning, according to RealtyU. During the last couple of years the frustration has been escalating and it appears to have reached a boiling point whereby private enterprise has decided to fight back and challenge the rules, regulations and fees. According to RealtyU CEO and co-author of a new white paper on the topic, Stefan Swanepoel, the advancement of distance learning within the real estate industry is being severely hindered by the current regulations. “The time has come for real estate industry to regain control over the future education of its participants,” he said. According to Swanepoel, courses should be presented in a manner that will stimulate learning, meet key objectives and focus on the user and his or her needs at any level. RealtyU says that distance learning, as regulated in the current climate, is focused not on the end user but instead on the mechanics of delivery and the needs of individual real estate regulators.
