What the card is, and who needs it

The Dubai Land Department issues thirteen practice-card activities. “National broker” is one of them, next to the standard real estate broker card.

Nobody may practise a licensed activity before registering and obtaining the card. That rule applies to every card on the DLD list. The card stays valid as long as the trade licence it is tied to.

We wrote this course for candidates who hold, or plan to apply for, the National Broker card. Who qualifies is the DLD’s decision, not ours. Read the DLD service page and ask your brokerage. We describe no programme terms such as duration, selection or allowances: they are not in the sources we verified.

The laws and topics the preparation covers

The DLD publishes no question count, duration, pass mark or exam language for the National Broker card. So we built the course on the laws a Dubai broker works with, and we say so.

Module 0: the National Broker route

A free preview lesson on the programme and the card, limited to verified facts. Then the 15-question diagnostic drawn from the whole bank, with no hints.

Module 1: law and registration

Lesson 1.1. Law No. 7 of 2006: the DLD is the only entity that registers property rights, and an unrecorded disposition is not valid. Law No. 13 of 2008: off-plan dispositions not entered in the interim register are void. Law No. 8 of 2007: buyers’ payments go to the project escrow account.

Lesson 1.2. The brokers register under Regulation No. 85 of 2006: licensing duties and penalties.

Module 2: transactions

Lesson 2.1. Forms A, B and F (and the inter-broker agreement often called Form I), the four sales models and the transfer of ownership.

Lesson 2.2. Leasing: Law No. 26 of 2007, Ejari, the rent increase bands of Decree No. 43 of 2013, and disputes.

Each lesson has two practice quizzes. The last module holds two mock exams. The course is narrower than our Real Estate Broker preparation: ethics, AML and jointly owned property are single modules ($20 each, free for enrolled students), or part of All-Access.

Three confusions that cost easy marks

Form A or Form B. Form A is between the seller and the brokerage: it is the marketing agreement. Form B is between the buyer and the broker. Form F is different again: it is the sale agreement between seller and buyer.

Form F or Form I. Form F joins seller and buyer. The agreement between two cooperating brokerages is what market guides call Form I; the DLD publishes standard templates for Forms A, B and F. A question about the sale agreement points to Form F.

Oqood or title deed. Oqood belongs to the interim register, for off-plan units. The title deed belongs to the main register, for completed property. The exam tests which register a given case sits in.

How the preparation works

Learn, check, simulate. Each step tells you what to do next.

Comprehension mode lets you read any practice question, its options, hint and explanation in French, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Russian or Chinese. Translations are machine-made, then reviewed by native speakers.

How study languages work

  1. Lessons with sources

    Short lessons name the law behind each rule, so you learn the rule and where it comes from.

  2. Explained questions and a hint

    The hint points to the rule and removes two options. Then the explanation says why the wrong answers are wrong.

  3. Two timed mocks

    Our own format: 40 questions in 60 minutes, no hints, no translation, as on test day. The DLD publishes no format for this card, so this is a training format, not an official one.

  4. A readiness score by topic

    We train you to 75%. It is a practice target, not an official pass mark. Your score by topic shows what to reread.

Questions

More answers in the full FAQ.

Is there a DLD test for the National Broker card?

The DLD service page lists the card and its fee. It publishes no test format for this card: no question count, duration, pass mark or languages. Ask the DLD or your brokerage what applies to your application. We do not guess.

Who can apply for the National Broker card?

The DLD decides. Our verified sources do not set out eligibility or programme terms, so we do not either. Check the DLD service page before you rely on any website, ours included.

Is this the standard broker exam?

No. The standard exam has its own preparation: see the RERA exam guide. This course follows the National Broker card, with two domains: registration law, and sales and leasing transactions.

Can I study in Arabic?

Yes. Practice questions, hints and explanations can be read in Arabic and five other languages. Mock exams stay in the exam language.

Are these the real exam questions?

No. The DLD does not publish its exams. Our questions come from Dubai laws and DLD rules, and each explanation names its source.
