Mode of Delivery
The mode of delivery will comprise face to face lectures in RECA’s training centre in the Devan Nair Institute of Employment and Employability and practicum within and in the surrounds of the centre.

Assessment
There are two components of assessment in all four modules of the course: Coursework and Examinations:

Coursework
Coursework constitutes 50% of the overall mark for a module and comprises of the following:

• Participation in Tutorials/Discussions/Scenario-Based Participative Sessions and/or Group and Individual project work assigned throughout the duration of the module of 25% weighting
• An individual capstone written project of 25% weighting

All coursework assigned will provide the following details to guide course participants in the submission:

• Deliverables expected
• Date for submission of coursework for assessment.

Coursework will be assessed through group presentations and written submissions. The individual capstone project will be assessed through written submissions.

Coursework must be submitted by the due date. Failure to do so will result in the coursework not being assessed and graded as a fail. This will result in failure of a module even if a pass is secured in the examination component of the assessment. Course participants are reminded to set aside sufficient time for preparation and printing of coursework where applicable.

Learners should retain a copy of their coursework. It will assist in review and revision for the examinations. It also acts as a record of achievement of work done in the course. RECA reserves the right to make and retain copies of the learners’ assessed work.

Assessment will be in the form of in-person informal formative assessment involving desk top and in practice inspections, reporting and maintenance planning projects issued during the duration of the course. The formal summative assessment can comprise a desk top or real life project for individual or group work.

Examinations
Examinations constitute 50% of the overall mark for a module (done by weighting the marks obtained out of a total of 100 marks in a modular examination by 50%).  Examinations will be scheduled progressively throughout the duration of the course when lectures for each module have been delivered.

Learners will have to meet the prescribed attendance and submit the required coursework where applicable, before being allowed to sit for examinations.

Certification
The passing mark for a module is 50.  Course participants must obtain at least 50% in the Coursework component of assessment and at least 40% in the Examinations component of assessment respectively; this threshold rule for the Examination component will apply despite a pass mark of 50 being achieved when both components of assessment are aggregated.

Course participants who pass the required assessments in all four modules will be awarded the RECA Advanced Diploma in Property & Facilities Management.

The entry requirements to reflect the training requirements and subsequent job demands are:

• Academic Level: Diploma or Degree in engineering or any business-related field.

Skills Future Singapore (SSG) mandates all private schools and their students to sign a Student Contract and Advisory Note for registered courses.

Student Contract
The Student Contract sets out the contractual commitments of both the student and the Private Education Institute (PEI).

The Student Contract is a critical document that governs the relationships between Real Estate & Construction Academy and the student. Prospective students should therefore understand and agree to the terms and conditions stated in the contract before signing it. The Student Contract needs to be signed before the course fee is paid.

The Student Contract contains information on course information and details of course fees, refund policy as well as additional information relating to the governing law and dispute resolution.

Advisory Note
The advisory note points to important information that prospective students should read and understand or be briefed on before the Student Contract is signed.

A sample Student Contract and Advisory Note can be found in the hyperlinks.

Please call Ken Chew or Gary Law at 65634176 or e-mail: enquiry@reca.edu.sg for registration and other information.
