Kgodisa is an independent company that forms part of Excellerate Property Services - a holding company of which JHI Properties and Sterikleen are members.
"Having launched just prior to the December/January festive season, we were delighted to receive over 100 enquiries from the public. While we thought that those interested would be mainly students from the property industry, we found that many were from other industries," says Thea Bezuidenhout, director of Kgodisa.
"Courses will focus on the needs of the property sector including soft skills and industry specific skills. In addition, the academy will also conduct short courses on other subjects such as negotiation skills and customer care and host breakfasts with industry experts, enabling delegates to obtain first-hand information regarding the property sector.
"The positive response to the launch of the academy demonstrates the need for such a facility, and is also indicative of growing interest in general among a broad cross-section of people wanting to enter the property industry.
"Once obtained, this new NQF level 4 qualification will enable applicants to enter the property industry as a portfolio manager or facilities manager. For those already employed in the property industry, the courses provide the opportunity for career advancement and personal growth," she concludes.
