Keller Williams launches training academy

Keller Williams UK has launched a training academy as it looks to nurture the next generation of agents.

The self-employed network brand has unveiled KW Academy – a business accelerator programme targeted at real estate agents. 

The 90-day programme aims to recruit ambitious professionals from a variety of industries who want to launch their own property business.

The academy, which launches on 3 July, will train more than 200 students throughout 2023 and aims to provide delegates with the training, skills, and certifications to start and run their own property franchise. 

Students will commit to weekly online lectures and learning tasks which can be completed during evenings, allowing participants to continue full-time working.

 Split into two ‘academies’, students in England will kick start their journey with a launch day in London’s Piccadilly where they’ll meet their colleagues and network with existing Keller Williams agents and industry professionals. Students based in Scotland will attend a similar launch event in Glasgow.

Graduates from KW Academy will leave with the appropriate skills and know how to start their own Keller Williams franchise. 

Jessica Aryee, head of training and coaching at Keller Williams UK, said: “The KW Academy is the ideal way for us to attract new talent to the industry, ambitious professionals who may be uninspired by their current role or undervalued by their current estate agency employer. 

“We put the control back into the hands of our agents – and the academy will demonstrate the pathway to success. I’d highly recommend that anyone who’s interested read more about the programme and submit an application before the remaining places are snapped up.”
