OVERVIEW

We are introducing a blended approach that combines the benefits of online learning with the engaging elements of live interaction, on a weekend basis for the busy working professional. The proposed format features live online sessions alongside interactive online materials and activities. This approach retains the structure and personal connection of face-to-face programmes while offering the convenience and accessibility of online learning.

The objective is to empower delegates with the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful as immovable asset managers and to equip participants with the strategic, technical, and operational skills necessary for effective asset, property, and facilities management within the built environment, with a focus on sustainable practices, risk management, and adherence to legal and regulatory frameworks specific to the South African context.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
After completion of this course delegates will have an enhanced understanding of asset and lifecycle management, possess strategic knowledge of the built environment and property development, and be proficient in asset data, information management, risk, and performance management. Delegates will also understand the legal and operational frameworks in property management and be equipped to develop an IAM practice guide to take up positions as immovable asset managers or allied professionals.
