I really enjoyed the course! The modules were very easy to navigate and the information was well taught, well instructed, and engaging. I believe it will help me both personally and professionally. I would highly recommend this course to peers.

LSE Real Estate Economics and Finance online certificate course, 2024
Coming into the class I had zero experience in the CRE world, so I was nervous about being in over my head with all the info. After completing the course I am so glad I went through with it, because I gained so much insight from the professors and my classmates. [A lot] of the concepts I am familiar with and will be able to use to grow my knowledge in real estate as a whole!
