Certificate Program

Students are issued Apartment Academy Passbooks, which they may use to track the number of academy hours they accumulate. When a student has accumulated the hours listed below, a certificate for that level will be issued:

21 Hours Apartment Academy Associate
42 Hours Apartment Academy Fellow
63 Hours Apartment Academy Scholar
84 Hours Apartment Academy Graduate

All association members may attend academy seminars at published prices without enrolling in the Apartment Academy. However, if training through academy seminars saves one move-out or customer, supplies one new lease or sale, or helps keep one employee, enrollment in the Apartment Academy has paid for itself.
