area put into use for authorisation certificates issued by our Directorate via both Motor Land Vehicles Trade and Real Estate Trade, whether the vocational qualification certificates of motor land vehicle sales
officers and responsible real estate consultants whose vocational qualification certificate validity periods have expired
