STUDIES PAY OFF FOR CHESTER PROPERTY AGENT
24th June 2009
Charles F Jones & Son LLP has joined an elite group by becoming one of the first practitioners in the UK to achieve the profession’s top vocational qualification.
Richard Prestwich of Charles F Jones & Son LLP is one of only 2 agents across the country to be awarded the National Federation of Property Professionals (NFOPP) Diploma in Commercial Property (DipCPA).
NFOPP, the umbrella body for five of the leading professional bodies representing those who work in the property sector, launched the DipCPA last year as part of its drive to raise standards and recognise excellence.
Richard Prestwich who has worked in the industry for 5 years and is now a Marketing Manager at Charles F Jones & Son LLP, studied for more that 350 hours, and passed four rigorous examinations as well as completing a 6,000 word dissertation related to the Caravan Industry to secure the qualification.
Ruth Lilley, head of membership and professional development at NFOPP, said “I heartily congratulate Richard on his achievement. The Diploma is our highest level of qualification, and on that carries real weight”.
“The award is tangible evidence of a commitment to best practice and the highest standards of professionalism and I am delighted to say that we are now seeing a growing surge of interest from agents in other parts of the country keen to follow his example.”
NFOPP was created with the merger of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), the National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers (NAVA), the Institute of Commercial Business Agents (ICBA) and the Association of Professional Inventory Providers (APIP).
The organisation is recognised by Ofqual, the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator, as an independent awarding body, and all its qualifications are Ofqual accredited.
