INREV / Henley Certificate in European Non-Listed Real Estate Investment

INREV is dedicated to the development of the next generation of non-listed real estate professionals. INREV and Henley Business School have come together to offer the INREV / Henley Certificate in European Non-Listed Real Estate Investment.

About the certificate

We are setting the educational standards for the industry.

INREV and Henley Business School have come together to offer the INREV / Henley Certificate in European Non-Listed Real Estate Investment. Non-listed real estate professionals who wish to take their studies further can sign up as a Certificate holder and obtain an exemption towards the Henley Business School MSc in Real Estate Investment and Finance. 

The Certificate will be issued by Henley Business School (University of Reading) to students who attend five of the relevant existing INREV courses and successfully pass an assessment in the form of a written report.

To obtain the Certificate, participants will need to enrol in one of the two curricula (learning paths) on offer: either Portfolio Management or Corporate Finance. Each curriculum consists of three mandatory courses and a number of elective courses. Participants will need to attend a total of five courses: three mandatory, and two from any of the other courses from the offering.

The courses currently take place online and will be offered both online and live across Europe when possible. Their dates and locations can be found under the INREV Training section on the website.

A participant who decides to obtain certificates for both the Corporate Finance and Portfolio Management curricula will need to attend a total of 10 courses, as no course can contribute towards both curricula.

Annual curriculum review

The Certificate is supervised by a Review Board, comprising representatives from INREV and Henley Business School, as well as an independent chair, to ensure the education programme is regularly monitored and assessed.

Every year the Review Board will meet to discuss INREV’s course offerings and to consider any potential changes or updates to the Certificate.

Assessment

After completing the five courses, each participant must take an assessment, in the form of a written report, within three months.

Henley Business School will assess the written report and provide feedback within a month of receiving it.

In order to obtain the Certificate, participants must obtain a pass mark in the assessment. If they fail the assessment in the first instance, it may be re-taken within two months.

Attendees will be expected to analyse a case study using real data, showing their ability to combine the application of notions and analytical/qualitative tools to solve a real problem.

Corporate Finance Curriculum

The certificate holder will gain an understanding of capital raising and financing for non-listed real estate investment, and how they relate to the valuation of investment opportunities in such vehicles. This curriculum is particularly useful for participants who want to further their knowledge of financial analysis and investment valuation, thus enhancing their ability to add value in finance-oriented roles within the fund management industry.
