Under the aegis of Asset Skills a joint venture was formed in 2000 between ARMA, ARHM, The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) and the Chartered Institute of Housing to produce an Open Learning Course (OLC) for new entrants into the sector in England and Wales or for those in the property sector but wishing to transfer into residential block management.
The OLC is based upon the basic skills and knowledge needs as set out in the NOS and aims to help a student within six months to become an effective member of a block management team. The IRPM Part I examination is based on the contents of the OLC.
The Residential Block and Estate Management Introductory Open Learning Course 2007 (OLC) is available to anyone wishing to purchase it. An information leaflet and order form are available from Asset Skills. IRPM members are entitled to the discounted price.
In Scotland, where the law is very different, the Part I examination is based on the contents of the Distance Learning Pack (DLP) – copies are available from IRPM (email: info@irpm.org.uk)
