“Hong Kong is an important region for us being the location of our Asia-Pacific HQ, so I am delighted that HKICM have accredited the relevant programmes for a further five years.

“I look forward to continuing to work closely with HKICM to benefit the construction industry in Hong Kong.”

Cr Daniel Shum, HKICM’s Chairman of the Board of Examination, added: “We are pleased to approve the re-accreditation of the programmes.
