As the
sectional title property market expands each day, the
University of Cape Town in conjunction with Graham
Paddock & Associates address the needs of the growing
industry. Together they facilitate a six month online
certificate course in Sectional Title Scheme Management,
which was introduced in November last year.
This course was initiated and accredited
by the National Association of Managing Agents (‘NAMA’)
and has received remarkable industry recognition. It establishes
a professional benchmark in the sectional titles scheme
management and aims to raise the level of standards in
training as well as in services provided in the industry.
The first course has proven to be a great
success and there has been extremely positive feedback
from the students. These students from various sectors
of the industry highly recommend the course and were impressed
at the high standard of the course. There is no doubt
the numbers will grow tremendously for the forthcoming
course, beginning in June 2006.
For many years, NAMA has encouraged managing
agents to regulate their own affairs. This course has
the potential to do just that and raise the standards
of managing agency. More than 80% of the current students
felt this course should be compulsory for all managing
agents, which goes to show their high regard for the course.
Many of the key players in the industry have recognized
this qualification and are ensuring their employees are
enrolled in the course. The course is suitable for those
currently practising in the industry as well as those
wanting to enter this field.
The second course runs from June 2006
to November 2006 and include a 3 day workshop towards
the end which is held in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.
Due to the great deal of interest shown and in order to
secure placement, it is encouraged registration forms
are submitted as soon as possible. Registrations close
15 June 2006.
