CERTIFICATE OF TECHNICAL STUDIES PROGRAM
DIVISION: BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY
 

The Real Estate Professional Certificate of Technical Studies program provides a fundamental overview of the real estate industry and the skills required to be successful in the program.  The program is ideal for individuals seeking to expand their competencies related to careers as real estate agents, brokers, property managers, and other specialties.  Real estate brokers and sales agents help clients buy, sell, and rent properties.  Brokers and agents do the same type of work, but brokers are licensed to manage their own real estate businesses.  Sales agents must work with a broker.  The goal of the program is to provide learners with the skills needed for an entry-level position in real estate sales.  Certificate holders may improve their opportunities in this or a related employment area.  Additional education enhances an individual’s employment opportunities. 

All courses in the Certificate program may be applied to the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Business & Management, with a concentration in Real Estate.  Learn more about this program.
