Dubai Real Estate Institute to participate at GETEX 2008 for first time

The 20th edition of GETEX will be held from 2-5 April at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre - Zabeel Hall. DREI's participation comes as part of its bid to promote real estate education, a non-traditional area of study. Applicants are invited to register for its executive training programmes at the DREI stand D-108, where the institute's staff will be on hand to offer information on the course content.

DREI has extended its special offer to its ongoing Executive Education Training Programme on Innovation in Real Estate Investment, Corporate Finance and Real Estate Decision, Implementing Dubai Strata Law and many other specialised courses in real estate that will run throughout the year.

The value package also includes programmes that will be delivered in October 2008, including a Graduate Diploma in Real Estate Management, offered in partnership with Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden; as well as a Master's programme in Sustainable Real Estate Development, to be offered in partnership with a reputable Australian University

Dr. Mohammed Al Shehhi, Managing Director of DREI, said:
