CCIM Western Canada Achieves Landmark Realtor Relicensing Recognition
VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 21, 2023 /CNW/ - The Western Canada CCIM Chapter has successfully achieved the maximum allowable Professional Development Program (PDP) credits (18) as required by BCREA for bi-annual REALTOR© relicensing.
The 18 PDP credits assigned to each of the 'core four' course offerings from the CCIM Institute make up the main educational requirement toward pursuit of the globally recognized and esteemed CCIM designation.
With Realtors now able to complete the full relicensing requirements with any one of the core four courses, the highest levels of commercial real estate education may be accessed with greater consistency thereby improving professionalism and investment outcomes in our communities. The courses will soon be offered across Canada with more licensing boards expected to participate.
