IREM reaches Ukraine with CPM agreement.

The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), the Central European Real Estate Associations Network (CEREAN), and the Ukraine REALTORS Association have signed a tri-lateral agreement to make IREM's Certified Property Manager (CPM) education and designation program available in the Ukraine.

An increasingly global leader in providing real estate management education, IREM is known for delivering courses and training that reflect today's best management practices and new technologies.

Its CPM designation is the premier real estate management credential for property and asset managers, valued more highly than other industry credentials by real estate investors and owners, according to independent research findings.

Commenting on the new agreement, IREM President Fred Prassas said: "We are delighted that the ethical business standards advocated by IREM and the professional practices modeled by IREM are being adopted and championed by industry colleagues in the Ukraine and many other countries far beyond our shores.

"Slowly, but surely, IREM is weaving a worldwide network of professional real estate managers who are setting global industry standards. IREM now has credentialed members in 29 countries, with more than 70 IREM courses offered this year in six countries outside of the United States. Moreover, our international reach is greatly expanded via students in many, many countries who are now taking or who already have completed IREM home study and online courses."
