CONTACT INFORMATION

Prior to class starting, the office will reach out to you to collect your contact information. This will include your email address, work phone number and cell phone number. 

eBooks

For all credential  courses (besides CAMT), you will be using eBooks. Your eBook will be ordered the week before class starts. You will be responsible for downloading and learning the eBook functions prior to class starting. 

Since credential classes use eBooksyou will need to bring your laptop/tablet and charger with you to class each day. 

STUDY AND ARRIVE AT CLASS PREPARED WITH QUESTIONS

Attending this class is just like attending a college course. It’s important that you review the curriculum prior to each class and be sure to ask questions if you need clarity. 

Classes are interactive as well. The format and atmosphere allow students to discuss issues and situations they are confronted with daily.

Instructors are all volunteering their time and expertise to the association and industry.  

CREATE YOUR PERSONAL FILE TO HOUSE YOUR CREDENTIAL INFORMATION

Keep everything, including your student ID number and password in a safe place. (You will be receiving this on the first day of class.) Then use this folder to keep track of your certificates confirming your CEC’s throughout the year. This will make it easier for when you go to renew your credentials each year. 

RENEWING YOUR CREDENTIAL

The National Apartment Association (NAA) will send you renewal forms each year around the anniversary date of receiving your credential.  You will be responsible for maintaining and providing proof of your continuing education credits each year, along with a renewal fee, payable to NAA.

CALP: 5 CEC's - $50 renewal fee
CAM: 8 CEC's - $100 renewal fee
CAPS: 8 CEC's - $100 renewal fee
CAS: 5 CEC's - $50 renewal fee

You can earn CEC's by attending SLAA’s educational seminars each year. (Ex. 3 hour seminar equals 3 CEC's)
