Hear from students

"What I enjoyed the most is gaining insights into diverse topics that are related to real estate and planning. This allows me to know a variety of career options in the real estate industry.

The webinars and tasks of each module give me a better picture of what it's like to be working in that area and enable me to get a taste of transaction management, data analysis, project management, facilities management, and interior design so that I can figure out which areas of work I'm truly interested in."

"I really appreciated the flexibility to work whenever and wherever I wanted, which allowed me to create my own schedule. This freedom helped me enhance my time management skills as I planned my week effectively and consistently met deadlines. As a university student on break, I found this productive use of my time incredibly rewarding, and the fact that this program is certificate-based gave me a real sense of accomplishment.

Additionally, I enjoyed the activities, which were both creative and thought-provoking. They encouraged me to think outside the box and approach challenges from different perspectives."

"My favorite area to learn about during the online real estate work experience program was property valuation. Understanding how different factors such as location, market trends, and property conditions affect the value of real estate was fascinating.

I enjoyed analysing various properties, using valuation methods, and seeing how small changes could significantly impact the property's worth. This knowledge not only deepened my appreciation for the real estate market but also provided practical skills that are crucial for making informed investment decisions."
