Going to buy my sister the same course for a birthday gift, which is a great offer that they do.

Chris Pinnock – Grays

This is a nice introduction to the profession of Estate Agency but also negotiation and building networks.

I’m a property investor and I have an interest in property generally. I wanted to do this course to broaden my knowledge of property but also make sure I understand my rights as a buyer of property. This is a nice introduction to the profession of Estate Agency but also negotiation and building networks. It includes material on both residential and commercial property, and also property maintenance. It touches upon the Estate Agents Act 1979 which is very important. My next step will be to review the act. It is a very broad course and is a good place to start.

With experience and training you could take on more responsibility for managing projects, or provide cover for senior management duties.

Other career options include moving into buying and procurement, financial management, business development and operations management.

With experience and a good sales record, you could be promoted from sales negotiator to senior negotiator and then branch manager. Larger chains of estate agents may offer more opportunities for promotion than smaller companies.

You could also become self-employed as a partner in a firm, or set up your own agency online.
