Helping thousands of people succeed worldwide

The College of Estate Management (CEM) has over 90 years' experience in providing the highest quality learning opportunities for the Construction and Real Estate professions. A CEM qualification is an internationally recognised demonstration of knowledge and skills, which can help a student on to their personal career ladder. Their qualifications are recognised and accredited by leading professional bodies, providing a route to professional membership.

Since their foundation, CEM have helped thousands of people to succeed in their careers, with over 150,000 alumni worldwide. Many are now in senior positions in government, property administration and private practice or have started their own companies.

Their students are from a wide range of backgrounds, some coming straight from A-levels, whilst others are returning to study as mature students. For some students, studying with the CEM is a stepping stone in their career, some are studying having worked in the Construction and Real Estate sectors for many years, whilst others are looking to make a career change. Wherever you are in your career, you'll find like minded students studying alongside you.

Studying online allows students to continue working whilst they learn. CEM courses are taught by a team of academics and industry practitioners, many of whom are prominent experts in their field. The online guidance from experienced tutors helps make the most of a learning experience and dedicated course administrators provide regular discussion and support.

Jesse Meek, Operations Manager at Sovereign Housing, graduated last year with the BSc (Hons) Construction and shares his experience: 'I initially wanted to study with CEM as their degree is accredited with the CIOB. This said to me that they were a reputable organisation and trusted within the construction industry,' he explained.

'After studying for my BSc in Construction Management the College lived up to the high expectations placed upon them. So much so, that I am now half way through an MBA with them. The course tutors have a high level of experience in the construction and real estate industry which makes the learning real and current.

'Being able to learn something new and then immediately implement it in the work place was great, the course doesn't just teach, it allows you to practice at the same time to solidify learning for the future.

'The CEM studies helped me to take on and achieve what at first seemed an incredibly difficult challenge to balance both work and study. The quality of the course materials, the tutoring and the student support services which offered advice and support, all really helped me to improve my personal effectiveness and in turn, succeed in my studies as well as experience rapid promotion in my career.'
