"Exceeded all my expectations"
This course exceeded all my expectations. It was academically rigorous but also incredibly practical. I walked away not only understanding the theory behind corporate finance law, but also how it actually plays out in real-world transactions

About 4 – 5 hours in total. Modules are broken down into 5 – 15 minute videos you can easily watch on breaks.
Yes, if you successfully complete the short assessments (which are multiple choice), SAPOA will issue you with a certificate vetted through its quality process. The course is not certified for CPD Points.
Yes! The course is designed to help different professionals involved in commercial property finance transactions understand the legal side of deals.
Although references are made to South African laws for illustrative purposes in one or two of the modules, the principles discussed in the course predominantly apply more broadly and are applicable to transactions in other common law jurisdictions. Professionals from non-South African jurisdictions would therefore also definitely benefit from the course.
You’ll learn to read and understand these documents – but not gain full drafting skills. The course instead focuses on holistically understanding commercial property finance transactions and identifying and mitigating related legal risk. We will be launching a separate course on "Drafting Commercial Contracts” soon. Watch this space.
Due to the proprietary nature of most loan and security documents which are owned by law firms and financial institutions for which they are drafted, full templates of these documents are unfortunately not available for download.
However, you will get access to downloadable templates of key ancillary documents commonly used in commercial property finance transactions, such as board resolutions, compliance certificates, conditions precedent checklists and more. These tools are designed to help you understand how transactions are implemented in practice and support your learning with real-world resources.
The course is delivered online through a mix of video lessons, slides, practical examples, downloadable resources and real-world document walkthroughs.
This is a fully self-paced online course, so there’s no live facilitation or one-on-one feedback. However, the course is designed to anticipate and answer the most common questions through practical examples, clear explanations, and real-world case studies. You’ll also receive access to downloadable resources you can revisit whenever you need clarity.
You have a 14-day, no questions asked refund guarantee
You’ll have access to the course for two months, during which time you can freely download the slides, additional reading materials, resources, templates (in Word format), and the accompanying e-book to your own computer to keep forever.
No – everything runs in any modern browser and templates open in Word or PDF with zero set-up
