What is the QPIA® and who would it benefit?
In a recent study independently conducted by PIPA 96% of property investors would choose an accredited professional over one that isn’t.
The PIPA Accreditation Program has been developed by PIPA (Property Investment Professionals of Australia) as an industry benchmark of knowledge and skills for individual investors and professionals in industries involved with property investment.
The course consists of 6 modules developed by property industry experts and can be done individually or as a complete course to deliver education for anyone wishing to develop and expand their personal knowledge on property investment, or look for a career in property investment advising as a Qualified Property Investment Adviser (QPIA®).
