COURSE DETAILS
COURSE OVERVIEW
Jointly presented by SAPOA and the Graduate School of Business (GSB) – University of Cape Town, our extremely popular flagship Property Development Programme (PDP) will now include a virtual layer of engagement to provide our delegates an interactive experience that our
delegates have become accustomed too.
The combined experience of the SAPOA and GSB faculties, as well as having successfully hosted virtual events, the team has developed the insights and expertise to host this hybrid experience in a professional and interactive format. Our team of national and international expert lecturers will bring added-value to the programme in the areas of financial management, group dynamics, strategic thinking, negotiation, presentation skills and economics.
The Focus
Focusing on property finance, valuation, property law, negotiation, investment, development, marketing and management the delegates will find their skills and knowledge sharpened not only by the practical instruction and case studies, but also by the interchange of ideas with their course colleagues, resulting in an extended basic knowledge in the principles and practices of property investment, development, marketing and management. The course provides a balance between theory and practice provided by academics and subject matter experts who are leading figures in the industry

COURSE CONTENT
The Course Format
The learning process is stimulated through a combination of theory and practical sessions. The programme is extremely intensive, with online lectures scheduled from 08h30, week 1 & week 3 and group project in week 4. In some instances, delegates will be given pre-reading course materials and will be required to work outside of these times in preparation for the upcoming lecturers.
