About nicholabaker

You may have noticed some changes over the last few weeks....   We have reviewed your feedback and taken action. We have re-worded a lot of the questions in the Learning Check Points and Module 4 Advanced E-conveyancing has disappeared completely! This means you only have to complete Getting Business Ready, System Set Up and Transacting in PEXA to become PEXA Certified.   Our aim is to make PEXA Certified relevant and practical and to give you the tools you need to competently complete transactions in PEXA.  We will gradually be making small updates to content and format over the coming months so watch this space!   If you have any questions or ideas regarding PEXA Certified, please feel free to email them through to PEXA.Certified@pexa.com.au   Cheers @nicholabaker and@NancyMadafferi ...
