Instructor Development
The breadth of ongoing changes in commercial real estate educa-
tion are dynamic and formidable, with challenges and advances
in technology, content delivery systems, and competing schools
and designations. Although the basic concepts of commercial real
estate change little from year to year, the audiences and technol-

To keep pace, CCIM Institute invests signifi cant time and
resources in ongoing training for faculty, as well as the discrimi-
nating selection of CCIM instructors. The organization’s mem-
bers represent a broad cross section of the industry ranging from

training sessions at every business meeting help to keep CCIM

and ensure quality of delivery.
“CCIM Institute sets a very high bar in the choosing and con-

Carmela Ma, CCIM, CIPS, FRICS. “The i nstructor cadre is
the cornerstone of the institute.”
