Education

IAA has changed its educational offerings for 2012 with the addition of the the Leasing Series and the Leadership Series.

The Leasing Series is divided into four individual seminars, each three hours long. The Leasing Series will help get you prepared to lease, as well as gettting your property ready to lease. The courses also provide you the tools you will need to be successful in leasing.

The Leadership Series is designed to enhance a Property Manager, Regional Property Supervisor and Maintenance Supervisors career in the industry. The Professional Leadership Track will help individuals understand their job better, become more proficient and able to train others, understand human needs and emotions, be able to problem solve more efficiently, will become better communicators and will have a better understanding of themselves and how they fit into a leadership role.

IAA offers Certified Apartment Manager (CAM), Certified Apartment Property Supervisor (CAPS) Certified Apartment Maintenance Technician (CAMT) and Certified Apartment Supplier (CAS). The CAPS and CAMT program have been rewritten with the latest up-to-date information.
