November 2026 intake — Semester 1
Five papers. Nine months. Live online in the evenings, recorded for revision, with tutor support that tightens in the two months before the exam.
Start here if the next sitting is the one you are aiming at
The November start puts a full nine months between enrolment and the paper — enough time to work through five subjects properly, drill past-year questions twice, and still hold down a job.
- First attempt ahead of you: you hold an MQA-recognised degree and have decided to sit — you need structure, notes and technique
- Resitting papers: a November start aligns with a February exam preparation window — see the resit route first, because you may only need RM600 per paper
- Working professionals: lawyers, quantity surveyors, bankers, property and facility managers adding the licence to an existing career
What you start with in November 2026
The knowledge and core fundamentals semester — the five papers most candidates begin with.
Five papers, nine months
Difficulty guidance is ours, based on teaching these papers — not a statement from RISM.
| Subject | Our difficulty read |
|---|---|
| Applied Valuation I (AV1) | Tough — valuation core, mathematical |
| Law of Property (LOP) | Tough — memorisation heavy |
| Corporate Real Estate Asset Management (CREAM) | Moderate — AI-assistable |

| Property Management (PM) | Moderate — AI-assistable |
What is fixed, and what is RISM's to set
| Intake | November 2026, Semester 1 |
| Semester length | 9 months |
| Format | Live online, evenings; every session recorded |
| Class calendar | Issued to enrolled students |
| RISM application window | 1 November – 31 January — published by RISM, confirm current dates with them |
| Exam timetable | Set by RISM. Confirm your own registration and sitting with them directly. |
| Payment | Full payment confirms a place. No deposits, no instalment plan. |
| Cohort size | Kept small — support is 6:1 exam-focused |
No countdown timers, no invented urgency
The only real deadlines are RISM’s application window and the number of places a 6:1 support ratio allows. Both are facts you can check — which is why we do not dress them up.
Before you reserve a place
Enrol per subject rather than for the full semester — RM1,200 per subject — and see how the first few weeks fit around your work. Nothing in the programme requires you to commit to all ten papers up front.
No. Tuition and registration are separate. We will point you towards RISM’s own procedures and deadlines, but your membership and examination registration — and the fees for them — are yours to complete directly with RISM.
Usually only early in the semester, because every session builds on the one before it. If you have missed the start, ask — and look at the January 2027 intake instead, which is the second entry point in the same application window.
RM6,000 is one semester of five subjects. The full ten-subject pathway across two semesters is RM12,000 in total, paid semester by semester. You are never asked for the full pathway up front.
