With “green” being the operative word these days, I couldn’t help but notice the interesting courses listed by the National Apartment Association (NAA) on their site.

In addition to the NEW Credential for Green Property Management (CGPM), the site explains such programs as the Fair Housing and Beyond Course, the Rental Owners Course (ROC) and the National Affordable Housing Management Association’s Specialist in Housing Credit Management® (SHCM®) programs.

To get more information on these programs, click on the links below:

You can take these courses at local apartment associations or online.  They are formatted for owners and management company executives, as well as:

  • Property and onsite managers
  • Leasing professionals
  • Maintenance technicians
  • Vendors

As a commercial property investor, you may also want to enroll yourself, your managers and/or employees in CAM, CAMP, CAPS, CAS or NALP - all designations to help you in this ever-broadening field.  The NAA site gives information on all these as well.
