ELP for real estate and construction professionals

RICS has launched Emerging Leaders Programme (ELP) — a one-year executive programme designed for mid-career to senior professionals in the real estate, construction, and infrastructure sector.

It is valued by clients and governments as a global benchmark for integrity and professionalism necessary for market confidence. MRICS is awarded to professionals following an assessment, which depends on education (accredited or non-accredited degree) and professional work experience (years, responsibility, relevance).

ELP is being offered in five specialisations: ELP in Real Estate Management; ELP in Corporate Real Estate and Facilities Management; ELP in Real Estate Valuation; ELP in Quantity Surveying; and ELP in Construction Project Management. 

It is a 300-hour programme delivered in a combination of face to face classes and online format, over a one-year period. 

The programme is delivered by full-time faculty of the RICS School of Built Environment and industry experts. 

The first batch will commence on June 5, 2017, and May 15, 2017, is the last date for enrolment.

“ELP is targeted at working professionals in the built environment space. It will give them an opportunity to sharpen their skills in their chosen area of specialisation and will make it easier for them to acquire MRICS qualification. The industry stands to gain from such a programme because it will help them move towards becoming more knowledgeable, professional and ethical, thereby inspiring confidence in investors and buyers. Real estate professionals in India will be able to speak the global language of real estate inspiring confidence of international investors as well,” said Sachin Sandhir, Global MD – Emerging Business, RICS.  

RICS works in partnership with universities worldwide to accredit degree courses.  In India, bachelor’s and master’s degrees awarded by RICS School of Built Environment, Amity University are the only degrees accredited by RICS.
