About the job

What does a property manager do?

Property managers are experts in property and work with both managing and developing one or more commercial and/or residential properties with regard to finances, technology and the living or working environment.

The work includes, among other things, planning and following up the budget, negotiating rents, writing leases and handling bookkeeping, legal matters and tax matters. A central part of the work is technical management: planning and taking responsibility for repairs and ongoing maintenance, procuring contractors, following up cleaning, outdoor areas and gardens, and making sure that heating, electrical and water systems work efficiently and in an energy smart way. The property manager often leads operating staff such as caretakers, property hosts and property technicians and can run development projects linked to new technical solutions and digital systems.

What language are the courses taught in?

The catalog records a teaching language for 7 of them, and 7 of those are Swedish. None is recorded as taught in English.

The rest record no language at all, so the course page, and then the provider, is where to settle it.

The catalog shows only what providers have filled in themselves. Where the field is empty the course card says nothing rather than guess. A Swedish course name says nothing certain about the teaching language either.

Which programmes lead all the way to property manager?

6 programmes carry the job title or a close one in their name, and they come first on the page.

The titles here are property manager, some of them with a technical direction. The course page tells you how long the programme runs and how it is organised.

What skills does a property manager need?

The Swedish Public Employment Service occupation data lists, among others, property economics, property valuation, construction contract law, contract law, technical property management, maintenance planning and sustainable construction and management. The courses on this page are arranged in three skill areas after them.

Construction contract law is where the catalog has the most courses. The property manager procures contractors for repairs and maintenance, and the same standard contracts apply as on a building site.

Who provides the property courses?

Over 10 providers offer at least one course on this page. The largest are Bonnier Akademi (4 courses), Newton (3) and Nackademin (3).

Every provider puts its own name on every certificate it issues, and the name on the course card leads to the provider page.

How were the courses on this page chosen?

The skills come from the Swedish Public Employment Service occupation data, which describes what the job asks for. Under each skill are the courses in the catalog whose name is about that skill, and each course appears under one heading.

Matches are read from the course title and not from the provider description, because a description mentions much that the course is not about. A word counts only where it starts a word in the title, and titles that only resemble the subject are excluded by name.

A heading with no courses is not shown, and the list is never filled out with courses that do not belong. The counts change when the catalog does, because every figure is read from the catalog when the page is shown.

Are the courses online or on site?

The catalog records a format for 7 of the courses here: 1 online, 3 blended and 3 on site. Over 10 courses record no format.

Where the provider has filled in the format it is on the course card. Where it is empty, the provider is the person to ask.

Do the courses qualify for Swedish student finance (CSN)?

5 courses here belong to vocational college (yrkeshögskola), and the rest are shorter courses from commercial providers and industry bodies.

Student finance from CSN belongs to vocational college and other regulated forms of education. Whether a course is open for applications, what it costs and when it next starts are questions for the provider.

What does a verified certificate prove?

That the provider named on the certificate issued it to the person named on it, and that an employer can check it directly with the provider.

Together they have issued over 1,000 certificates. Over 10 courses have issued at least one, and the rest have not issued any yet.
