Test of Professional Competence · Malaysia

You passed the written exams. The Board is only half satisfied.

Between your exam pass and your registration number sit two years of supervised experience, a Work Diary, a Log Book, two Practical Tasks in quadruplicate and a Professional Interview. Dr. TPC runs half-day sessions that take valuers, estate agents and property managers through it one stage at a time.

What it is

One gate, three registers

The TPC is the Board's principal means of ensuring that only those competent to practise are registered. Each register has its own rulebook, its own forms and its own traps — but all three share the same six-part spine.

PEA

Estate Agency Practice

The 1996 rulebook. No Log Book, three compulsory experience areas, and the harshest Work Diary rule of the three.

TPC (EA) x/96 · 2,000–4,000 words

PV

Valuation Practice

The 1998 rulebook. Eight experience areas, the widest interview of the three, and a Part B topic the Board must approve in advance.

TPC (V) x/98 · over 4,000 words

PPM

Property Management Practice

The 2018 rulebook. Nine experience areas, the longest submissions, and an interview that can be called on three days' notice.

TPC (PM) x/18 · 4,000–8,000 words

The spine

Six things stand between you and registration

Every stream asks for the same six. Only the thresholds move.

One

Supervised experience

Two continuous years under a registered supervisor, reduced to one in defined cases. The clock starts when you register, not when you started work.

Two

Work Diary

104 weeks of entries, signed by you and your supervisor every week. Not a formality — it is the evidence your experience existed.

Three

Log Book

Analysis of Diary Sheets, totalled vertically and horizontally. Required for Valuation and Property Management; not for Estate Agency.

Four

Record of Experience

At least 500 words on what you did, where, on what property, and at what level of responsibility. Certified by your supervisor.

Five

Two Practical Tasks

Bound, double-spaced, in quadruplicate, with the word count stated and a countersigned declaration at the front of every copy.

Six

Professional Interview

A panel examines your reports, your practice knowledge and the law. Results in 30 to 45 days depending on your stream.

Why it slips

Most delays are administrative, not academic

Candidates rarely fail because they lack ability. They lose years to clauses they never read closely. Three that cost the most:

Timing

The 12-month rule

Final Assessment cannot happen until twelve months after your Preliminary. Submit the Preliminary late and your training extends by exactly that much.

Evidence

The date your clock starts

Experience gained before you register for the TPC is excluded, however good it was. Registering late is the most common self-inflicted delay.

Format

Rejected on presentation

Wrong binding, missing word count, or a declaration in the wrong place will cost you a submission window regardless of the quality of the work.

Sessions

Four sessions, following the candidate journey

Each is standalone and each runs one morning. Together they follow a candidacy from the day you register to the day you sit in front of the panel.

Starting the clock correctly

Thursday 15 October 2026 — 09:00 MYT

Why experience before registration is excluded, what counts as approved experience, choosing areas your firm can actually give you, appointing a supervisor who qualifies, and what to file when you change employer.

Session 01 · Best taken before or just after you register

Reserve a seat

The Diary and Log Book

Thursday 12 November 2026 — 09:00 MYT

Entries assessors accept, weekly signing discipline, the Analysis of Diary Sheets totalled both ways, and back-planning the twelve-month rule so Final Assessment lands when you need it. Estate Agency covered separately.

Session 02 · Best taken in your first year

Reserve a seat

Practical Tasks that can pass

Thursday 10 December 2026 — 09:00 MYT

Choosing a subject that can demonstrate competence, the hard minimums per register, word discipline, evidence packs, the declaration, and the presentation faults that get submissions rejected before they are read.

Session 03 · Best taken before you start writing

Reserve a seat

The Professional Interview

Thursday 14 January 2027 — 09:00 MYT

What the panel examines in each register, defending your own reports, the practice and legal ground you are expected to hold, and what resubmission costs if it goes the other way.

Session 04 · Best taken after your reports are in
