Students receive credit towards earning their certificate through core classes presented by the NAIOP Center for Education. So whether you want to enhance the value of your current career track or to increase your credibility in transitioning to a new career goal or area of interest, consider the professional benefits and competitive edge you'll gain by earning your NAIOP Certificate of Advanced Study.

Commercial real estate professionals wanting to advance their careers by earning their certificate can focus their efforts on either the development or finance tracks by pursuing a Certificate of Advanced Study in Commercial Real Estate Development or a Certificate of Advanced Study in Real Estate Finance.

Benefits

Professionals who are involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development benefit from the certificate. You benefit if you are a:

• Developer/Owner
• Investor
• Lender
• Broker
• Industry Consultant/Advisor Planner
• Architect
• Real Estate Attorney
• Civil Engineer/Construction Manager
• Environmental/Sustainability Professional
• Land Use Professional

Employers benefit as well from having motivated professionals on their team who they value for an ongoing commitment to learning. Both certificate programs follow a planned curriculum with a wide range of certificate course offerings to choose from.

To address its ongoing talent shortage, the commercial real estate industry must look outside of traditional recruiting avenues and consider people with nontraditional career paths.

Ten years ago, great employees seemed much easier to find – an organization might find three excellent candidates for anyone open position. Today, it can feel like there are no great candidates available.
