Mr Quentin Kilian, CEO of the REINT commended the course saying: “The CIPS course offers a unique opportunity to learn about, and understand the nuances of the real estate profession in other countries. Whilst the course is predominantly written for an American audience it does provide a good scope of learning on Asian, European and Latin American markets and helps students understand the differences in these markets, including the cultural and business aspects. Completing the course, quite literally, opens a whole new world of contacts through the CIPS network that you will become part of.”
