➜ teaching real estate and construction➜ supporting our students’ career goals➜ delivering excellence in online learning

www.cem.ac.uk 9

“ Having started working as an assistant in a rural surveyors’ practice with no previous experience, the College was recommended to me by colleagues as an accessible pathway to becoming qualifi ed. I found the College to have an excellent reputation and I was impressed with the variety of courses on offer for all sectors of the surveying and construction industry.

The main attraction of part-time distance learning was the fl exibility to fi t study around my work commitments and reinforce my learning with practical day-to-day experience in the workplace. I felt that managing my own study timetable would improve my time management skills and ability to cope with deadlines – skills which I could refl ect in the workplace.”

Jennifer WookeyTrainee Rural Surveyor, Edwin Thompson, UK

www.cem.ac.uk10 www.cem.ac.uk10

“ I knew some real estate professionals from my country who had studied through The College of Estate Management. They spoke highly of the College. They were mostly in senior positions in the private sector. I was also further attracted by the fact that the courses, my course in particular, are RICS-accredited. This makes the College a natural favourite.”

David Mutemachani, MSc Real Estate Senior Property Manager, Mashonaland Holdings, Zimbabwe

“ The MBA in Construction & Real Estate is an interesting course because it offers the broad curriculum of an MBA but is focussed within a specific sector. The benefit of this is that it allows you to apply your new knowledge immediately within your own organisation, whilst considering the overall industry from a range of different perspectives. Upon completion of the program you have a much deeper appreciation of the complexity involved in running a company within this sector, but you are equipped with the skills to recognise, understand and manage the dynamic relationships between different business functions. This knowledge will ensure you are a highly valuable asset to any organisation.”

James Polkinghorne, MBA Director and Co-Founder, Asia Civil, Hong Kong

www.cem.ac.uk16

“ The course structure is logical and it guides you through the business world. The coursework allows you to draw on and understand the decision-making processes of businesses. I have started to analyse corporate situations differently and I can unequivocally say that I am using the knowledge from the course in my everyday business life. I would recommend the MBA programme to any management-based professional in the Real Estate industry and I fi rmly believe studying on the CEM MBA programme has made a difference to both my professional and personal life.”

High-level roles“ In the modern world, fl exibility is the key to success. That

means being able to take opportunities as they come up and see them through. Construction management in its widest sense needs fl exibility backed by a sound knowledge base.

The partnership of the CIOB and CEM is founded on that philosophy. CEM is a world-class organisation with excellent programmes that bring out the best in their students, evidenced by the many high-level roles carried out by CEM graduates around the world.”

Chris Blythe, CEO, Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)

“ The reason for my success was the equilibrium found between family life, work and study, which was made possible by my family, employer and CEM. I believe that the format of the courses is ideal for professionals and without it I don’t think I would have been able to attend a full-time course and achieve my goal of being the fi rst female RICS-certifi ed valuer in Albania. So, thank you to CEM!”

Valuable role“ The need for highly qualifi ed professionals has never

been greater. The College of Estate Management plays a major role in surveying education, not only in the UK, but around the globe. Having provided access to good-quality professional and vocational education to people wanting to work in the world of land, property and the built environment for almost a century, the College has played a very valuable role. I personally hope this will continue for many years to come.”

Michael Newey, President 2013-2014,Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)

“ Having worked in the construction industry in numerous roles over the past 10 years’ I realised that the next level was to obtain a professional qualifi cation and membership of the CIOB. CEM appealed to me as it offered the only distance learning programme available in my subject; the modules were all relevant to my daily role and the teaching is well known in the industry for being of a very high standard. I recommend the CEM experience to anyone interested in a professional career within the property industry.”

“ Distance learning was a new term for me when I started and I was hesitant that it might not be as effective as face-to-face teaching. However, I was wrong. The VLE and the tutors gave me the opportunity to feel that I was interacting with them in real time. It provided a platform for forum discussions and has been helpful in my assignments.”

Julie Christie Marquez dela CruzSenior Cost Consultant/Service Delivery Team Leader,EC Harris International, Dubai, UAE

“ I chose distance learning as an option as it allowed me the fl exibility of learning and earning at the same time. It also afforded me the opportunity to apply some of this learning immediately as opposed to the usual linear knowledge and then application lifecycle associated with conventional full-time courses.”
