About the program

Conestoga College, in partnership with the Institute of Housing Management (IHM), presents a certificate program in Property Management. Property management is an exciting field that offers rewards and challenges while managing public and private properties, resources, people, and relationships. Property Management is not just about the buildings - it is about the people inside.
