The PPI Graduate Partnership
The PPI Graduate Level Business Opportunity is an exclusive entry point into the Professional Property Inspectors (PPI) Group, specifically designed for individuals with a formal technical background.
Unlike general affiliate roles, this tier is a Qualified Professional Partnership. It positions you as a high-level technical consultant, moving beyond basic inspections into the realm of specialized property compliance and engineering audits.
1. Professional Requirements
This opportunity is reserved for professionals who hold formal qualifications recognized by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).

The Graduate tier is strategically designed as a low-overhead professional practice, allowing you to leverage the full power of the PPI infrastructure without the prohibitive costs associated with starting a traditional firm from scratch.
To join this elite tier, there is a once-off Joining Fee of R15,500.00 (Excl. VAT), which covers your professional onboarding and ensures full alignment with the PPI brand. To maintain your practice, there is a Monthly Management Fee of R3,000.00 (Excl. VAT). This fee provides you with continuous access to our specialized technical infrastructure, proprietary report-writing software, and comprehensive administrative support.
