Fennec Academy

About the Academy

The Fennec Academy was started in order to assist professionals in the industry with the complexities of deceased estate administration. When building our Deceased Estate Administration Platform, and having interacted with the platform's administrators, we came to the conclusion that there was a need for an institution that offered courses that would delve into the complicated and nuanced aspects of deceased estate administration that are often brushed over or misunderstood. We wanted to find something that would cover the estate administration process from start to finish - all the way from estate planning to wrapping up the deceased estate. We searched far and wide for the kind of courses that would provide the detail and knowledge we were looking for but came up short. So, we have created our own Academy that includes courses we would want to attend and provides the information we would like to know and utilise.   

Offered Courses

We have tailored a set of courses that cover the different phases and aspects of deceased estate administration. Our courses have been designed to assist both the individual who is new to estate administration and the professional who would like more in-depth knowledge on some of the intricate aspects of estate administration.  

While we have put together a set of course that we feel cover many of the key aspects, we would love to hear your suggestions for potential course topics. Please email any requests of course topics to academy@fennecgroup.co.za
