Don't let these last few months of 2021 fly by without making the most of it. If you haven't yet done so, make sure you make this year count. Our suggestion for a way to do so? Register for one of these courses to upskill in 2021:

We also offer the opportunity to take part in the Paddocks UCT Start and Manage a Managing Agency online short course, which teaches the "how-to's" of starting your own managing agency and provides a great opportunity to bring your entrepreneurial dreams into focus. The next presentation starts 24 January 2022 and we have an Early Bird special running until 15 December 2021 - Register now to take advantage of this saving.
