Testimonial
“The CISL Real Estate Sustainability course was excellent. The content was exhaustive and interesting, mixing theory with real projects. I am much more aware of the impacts of sustainability from a holistic point of view and know how to apply it to my day-to-day job. The online course made it flexible in terms of timing and allowed participants from across the globe. I would encourage anyone within real estate to sign up to this course.”
