REALTOR® Family Designations & Certificationsx

The National Association of REALTORS® and its affiliated Institutes, Societies, and Councils provide a wide range of programs and services that assist members in increasing skills, proficiency, and knowledge. Designations and certifications acknowledging experience and expertise in various real estate sectors are awarded by NAR and each affiliated group upon completion of requirements.

If the class you are looking for is not on that calendar, go to the specific Council, Institute, or Society that oversees the designation or certification.
