CHRISTOPHER MARRS

“The Property Industry Induction course delivered far more than I expected. The big value-add was the insights I gained from the stories of experienced individuals across the different areas of the property industry. The course itself involved group exercises which fostered new relationships with others in the industry, who have been willing to get in touch outside of the course. I would encourage those of you interested in the course to contact the Academy - that’s what I did, and they delivered much more than I expected, both personally and professionally.”
