CALP (Certified Apartment Leasing Professional) - Day 1 & Registration


Tuesday, September 9, 2025
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (EDT)

WE RECOMMEND THIS COURSE for leasing consultants, concierges, and career changers with hospitality, retail, or customer service experience.

This course starts by asking participants to think about the leasing process from the perspective and the new resident’s point of view. This helps conceptualize the idea that everything they learn can be placed within the context of what’s important when building a successful leasing relationship. The Leasing Professionals learn professionalism, teamwork, organization, time management, and technology, all with the goal of developing the skills they need to successfully bring in new residents. Engaging videos and lively discussions help to bring the key points to life.

To obtain the CALP credential, candidates must complete the following:

  • Minimum of six months of onsite property management experience in a leasing role (This can be obtained while taking the course; you will receive a provisional certificate until this requirement is met.)
