SEAA Terms and Conditions

CPD Course Terms & Conditions

By registering for and attending SEAA’s CPD course(s), you acknowledge and accept these terms and conditions. SEAA reserves the right to update these terms as necessary, and any changes will be communicated to registered participants.

Personal Data Collected for CPD Attendance Submission

Under Part II of the Advisory Guidelines on the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (“PDPA”) for NRIC and Other National Identification Numbers (issued by the PDPC on 31 August 2018), organizations are generally not allowed to collect, use or disclose NRIC numbers except, for example, where it is necessary to accurately verify the identity of the individual to a high degree of fidelity.

As the fulfillment of CPD credits is a mandatory requirement for a real estate salesperson to retain his/her registration, CEA requires that the identities of CPD course attendees are accurately ascertained and the CPD credits are correctly allocated. Therefore, CPD Course Providers are required to furnish CEA with information such as course attendance records which include NRIC numbers to uniquely identify each attendee.

In order to deliver the following services requested by the participant, SEAA will collect and use personally identifiable information including name, NRIC number, email address, address, telephone number and where necessary educational history. We will, where required to by the Council for Estate Agencies or directed by the participant, disclose to the Council for Estate Agencies such personally identifiable information for the purposes of, and incidental to the participant’s receipt of services, updating their attendance, academic and/or certification records with the Council for Estate Agencies.

Please note that this event is subject to changes, terms, and conditions by SEAA. No refund of fees will be given for non-attendance or withdrawals. Participants will be notified should there be changes made by SEAA.
