Add to Basket

Two and three day courses are great to build a foundational knowledge of property development, however we believe you need on-going in-depth training on the full life cycle of development if you're going to build a lasting legacy for you and your family - that's exactly what we've created with the "Land & Development Legacy Builder". 


The idea behind this series is to provide and give developers a more in-depth working knowledge of specialist areas of development that you need to have in order to be successful in the long-term. Mindset and general personal development are important factors in achieving success in development, but you do need additional professional and practical training that will give you a deeper understanding of the development life cycle and how to apply it. 


In this series you'll be learning alongside our planners, architects, equity funders, project managers, solicitors and other professionals that have delivered thousands of units and have decades of professional experience.
