A clear guide to mandatory points, high-demand skills, and PropTech adoption for Real Estate Practitioners in 2025.
BOVAEP Compliance and Growth
For Malaysian real estate professionals, Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is controlled by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers (BOVAEP). Renewal of the Real Estate Practitioner license is strictly tied to acquiring mandatory CPD points. Modern CPD now balances core ethics with essential digital marketing and PropTech skills to stay competitive.
●Leading CPD Providers (Market Share)
Accreditation is key. Hartamas Academy leads a strong field of BOVAEP-recognized training centres that capture significant market share due to quality, consistency, and compliance focus. Choosing a reputable provider is the first step to securing your renewal.
●Composition of Mandatory CPD
Your points are split between law/ethics (Tier 1) and elective skills development (Tier 2). Tier 1 is essential for BOVAEP compliance, while Tier 2 is vital for income growth.
▲The PropTech Skill Surge
The use of technology in listings, client management, and valuation is growing fast. Practitioners who integrate PropTech (Property Technology) through CPD have a clear market advantage.
- PropTech: Platforms like virtual tours and AI-driven valuation tools.
- Digital Marketing: Mastering social media campaigns and SEO for property listings.
