The Ghana Real Estate Professionals Association has introduced a series of global certification training courses to the real estate industry.
Whiles efforts are being made by Government and relevant stakeholders to sanitize and formalize the built environment, the professional body GREPA has relentlessly sought to build and equip the capacity of its members and the industry.
During the ARCE’21 conference last year, renowned speakers and instructors were flown from the United States to teach the Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) which was highly subscribed. In all 32 Ghanaian real estate professionals graduated with the CIPS designation.
In 2022 GREPA is hosting the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM®) a globally accredited institution from the United States to teach the highly recognized and internationally approved IREM Certified Property Manager® course for the first time in West Africa, this is an intensive training will be held at the Labadi Beach Hotel.
