The new qualification includes four units covering:
•    Compliance and ethical practices
•    Business management
•    Business systems
•    Business marketing

The new qualification is available using Propertymark Qualifications’ new remote invigilated examination service meaning that agents are able to take their exams at locations convenient to them.

Mike Smith, head of Propertymark Qualifications, said: “The direction of our profession and the needs of the professionals within it is evolving. As an awarding body we regularly review and update our qualifications, and we are really excited to be introducing a whole new qualification.

“To be able to offer a qualification that is applicable wherever you are across the UK and whichever property discipline background you may be in is unique in the sector and innovates our offering for learners. 

“We look forward to welcoming our new learners on board this year and wish them all the best of luck in progressing both educationally and professionally.”
