PropAcademy, in alignment with the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA), is thrilled to announce the commencement of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program for the year 2024. This initiative underscores our commitment to uphold the highest standards in the real estate sector and to support the continuous professional growth of property practitioners.

Enhancing Professional Skills

The CPD program is designed as a crucial platform for real estate professionals to sharpen their skills, stay current with evolving industry trends, and meet ongoing educational mandates. It’s an opportunity for practitioners to not only enhance their capabilities but also to ensure they remain at the forefront of the real estate profession.

The PPRA has made significant updates to the CPD policy for 2024:

Immediate Participation: Property practitioners who have successfully passed the PDE4 between February and June 2024 can now enroll in the CPD program within the same calendar year.
Subsequent Year Participation: Those passing the PDE4 from July to November will be eligible to join the CPD program in the subsequent calendar year, as they are upgraded to non-principal property practitioner status.
