Professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of real estate development need look no further than Royal Roads University.

In what has been described as a “groundbreaking partnership” with the Urban Development Institute - Capital Region (UDI-CR), the Colwood-based university has announced the Real Estate Development Micro-Credential.

The new innovative program is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the real estate and urban development field, said a news release.

“We are proud to collaborate with UDI-CR on this innovative program," said Dr. Zoe MacLeod, associate vice president of professional and continuing studies at Royal Roads University. “The Real Estate Development Micro-Credential reflects our mutual commitment to delivering accessible, industry-relevant education that empowers learners to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving sector. 

“Together, we are equipping professionals with the critical knowledge and practical skills to navigate the complexities of real estate development and make meaningful contributions to their communities.”

“By combining UDI-CR’s industry-driven expertise with Royal Roads University’s academic excellence, we are delivering a program that addresses real-world challenges and opportunities,” added Kathy Whitcher, UDI-CR’s executive director. 

The new course builds upon UDI-CR’s Real Estate and Development (RaD) Program, which is delivered virtually and part-time over nine months.

Participants who complete the RaD program can advance their learning journey through an assessed project at Royal Roads University to earn the Real Estate Development Micro-Credential.

Registration for the RaD Program is ongoing, for more information visit the website: https://udi.org/knowledge/education/rad.
