Build to Rent is now one of the fastest-growing sectors and in response to the government’s increasing interest in mandatory qualifications for property agents; we are offering an intensive Level 4 qualification in Build to Rent and Private Rented Sector management. This is an online self-study course available to all IRPM members.
The course has been developed around IRPM’s ‘4 Elements’ of residential property management: Technical, Health and Safety, Customer and Consumer and Ethics and Behaviours. These 4 Elements are the foundations for any residential property management professional. Learners who successfully complete the course and pass the final exam will be entitled to use the MIRPM designations.
Who is this qualification suitable for:
Should you require special facilities or support you must make IRPM aware of your needs when you register for a qualification. IRPM are committed to providing access to all and will endeavour to meet all requests for support and/or provide special facilities to enable open and comprehensive access to the examination provided that sufficient notification is given. Please note that applicants will need to provide formal evidence of independent assessment of their needs where appropriate.

There is no minimum experience required to sit the Level 4 Build to Rent qualification. For those who already have the Member level qualification in leasehold management, you will need to do this course to qualify as a Build to Rent property manager. Everyone’s membership certificate will say whether they are qualified in ‘leasehold’ or ‘build to rent’.
All candidates who pass this course will be eligible to receive free membership to the UKAA.
Learners can join the course at any time. Learning material consists of nine modules and learners are required to pass an online test at the end of each module. The course is completed with a final written assessment, lasting two and a half hours, that takes place every six months (May and November).
Course duration is flexible to fit the needs of individual learners. Once enrolled, learners will have access to all learning material for 24 months. However, they can choose to complete the course earlier. The recommended minimum learning time is 6 months which equates to approximately an hour a day of learning (total qualification time is 173 hours).
After enrolment, you will be invited to sit the exam every time new exam dates are released throughout your studies. All candidates are recommended to book the next exam date after your 24-month access to the course expires.
