Propertymark Qualifications
Hÿtch and Griffin will play a crucial part in the driving force to raise the profile of Propertymark Qualifications and continue to ensure its offering is fit for purpose, keeps up with the industry and exceeds educational standards.
Despite the ongoing effect of the pandemic and the continued lockdowns across parts of the UK during 2021, Propertymark Qualifications announced that over 10,600 exams were taken and almost 1,500 learners achieved their qualifications.
So, the Propertymark Qualifications Awards Ceremony 2022, which will take place in October, will again be looking to celebrate the very best of the sector by putting a spotlight on learners who are working towards or have achieved their certification to a high standard. Nominations will close on 5 September 2022.
Propertymark Qualifications
Specialist, regulated property qualifications which you can complete flexibly through distance learning or with additional support with a Propertymark Qualifications recognised centre.
As the sector is continuously changing and new goal posts are being created, we need to ensure that our qualifications and assessments also keep up and stay ahead of the curve, delivering what the profession needs in an accessible way.
With some innovative additions in the pipeline, we’re really pleased that both Jan and Katie are joining the Propertymark Qualifications’ Board at what is an exciting time in its evolution.
It’s important that we have a great breadth of knowledge across our Board, from educational experts to those who know the industry inside and out, so we’re extremely pleased that two well-known practitioners will be joining us on our journey to continue to drive up industry standards even higher.
