The diploma is an ideal qualification for a range of staff who may be involved in Property Asset Management within a public sector setting. These include but are not limited to:

  • New starters with little or no previous training.
  • Property Staff new to the public sector or new to Asset Management.
  • Staff in other areas who may be involved in strategic property activity i.e. finance professionals, key clients from services, etc.
  • More experienced property staff who have specific knowledge gaps or would like a more comprehensive understanding of this area.

Too date over a 150 people from the UK and overseas have been through the diploma from a variety of organisations and different experiences of asset management.

How will the Diploma be delivered?

Whilst the diploma can only be attained by completing all 7 modules and successfully passing the end of course examination, each module is discreet and can be taken independent of other modules to help fill specific knowledge gaps. The course will be completed through online webinar training.
