Mumbai, September 16, 2015: The Real Estate Management Institute TM (REMI) launches 5 Certificate Programs for students aspiring to enter the real estate industry and 6 Executive Courses specially designed for real estate professionals. These real estate courses are offered in collaboration with The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREMTM) in the USA – a leading provider of real estate education globally. The courses will initially be available at REMI’s branches in Mumbai & Thane.
REMI was founded in response to the realization that skills within the real estate industry in India are underserved, fragmented and lacking in fundamental real estate practices. REMI strives to pave the way for industry development by delivering world-class best practices through their collaboration with IREM TM. All REMI trainers are IREMTM certified.
The Real Estate industry in India is slated to grow to $180 Billion by 2020. [1] The growing population, overall economic growth of the country, rising income levels and increased foreign investment, has led to a heightened need for improved infrastructure across urban, semi-urban and rural India. The government’s impetus to boost urban development and infrastructure, such as the addition of 25 million homes and 100 smart cities by 2022, has further enhanced the growth of the real estate and ancillary services sector. The introduction of REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) is also a key initiative which will further drive investment and improved best practices in this sector.
Today, the real estate industry is the 2nd largest employer in India, after agriculture. With a growing need for transparency in dealings, tighter project completion timelines and greater regulatory vigilance, there will be a significant demand for skilled personnel trained in line with global best practices over the next decade. At present ~ 4 million jobs remain unfulfilled in the real estate industry largely due to a lack of skilled professionals, and this number is expected grow to~28 million by 2022. There are only a limited number of programs available to address this growing skill gap.
Through REMI’s dedicated ‘Career Development Center’, REMI provides its students with 100% internship and placement assistance, as well as builds long-term partnerships within the real estate, infrastructure and allied industries to provide them with personnel armed with world-class knowledge and industry best practices.
REMI presently offers a focused range of Certificate Programs across various real estate business functions. These courses have been put together in response to the demand for skilled personnel as highlighted by companies within the real estate and infrastructure industries. At present the courses include i) Real Estate Business Management & Housing Finance; ii) Real Estate Business Management; iii) Real Estate Marketing & Sales; iv) Real Estate Housing Finance; and v) Real Estate Broking Entrepreneurship. The duration of these courses ranges from 2 to 3 months, and are supplemented by industry internships for upto 3 months at real estate and infrastructure companies both within India and overseas.
REMI also offers a variety of Executive Courses: i) Investment Real Estate: Financial Tools; ii)Executive Project Management in Real Estate; iii) Executive Program in Internet Marketing & Sales; iv) Marketing & Leasing – Retail Properties & Office Buildings; v) Leadership & Human Resource Essentials; and vi) Managing the Physical Asset.
