The bursaries cover up to 100% of the costs associated with learning materials, Propertymark membership, and examination fees.
Successful applicants will be supported to study for the Level 3 Certificate in Property Agency .
As part of the application process, candidates must explain why they want to achieve a Level 3 qualification and how it will support their career development.
Positive impact on careers
Feedback from last year’s cohort highlights the real-world value of the scheme, with one member commenting that the bursary had opened doors and strengthened their professional skills, helping them to deliver a higher standard of service in the property sector.
This reflects the Trust’s wider objective of raising standards across the industry by supporting education, competence and professionalism.
Michael Day, Chair of the Education Group at the Propertymark Trust, said the initiative provides a clear route into qualifications that underpin long-term career progression and strengthen the profession.
By continuing to invest in education and access to qualifications, the Propertymark Trust is helping to develop the next generation of qualified, professional property practitioners.
Get ahead of mandatory qualification requirements
The UK Government plans to reform the home buying and selling process, introduce mandatory qualifications for estate and commercial agents across the UK and lettings agents in England. So, there has never been a better time to invest in personal development.
With rising expectations for professional standards, gaining a formal qualification is more than a goal; it’s fast becoming a necessity.
The study programmes offered through Propertymark Learning are a clear route to recognised professional status, helping agents and their teams stand out in a changing marketplace. They have various pathways that you can choose from based on the country you're practising in and your chosen specialism.
