Education

Educational programs in a variety of formats have been designed for every stage of the property professional's career.  There are dozens of opportunities for you to gain knowledge and learn best practices in the various functions of asset property management.

Classroom Courses
 

NPMA courses taught by knowledgeable, experienced instructors are offered throughout the year in various parts of the country.  To view our classroom courses and register on-line, please see our Course Listings or Calendar of Events.   

 

On-Demand Courses

If travel is a problem, you can still gain valuable training as long as you have access to a computer and the internet.  Our Online Courses and recorded Webinar Presentations provide you with learning options on a number of topics, including NPMA Certification. 

Our On-site Program might be just the thing for your organization if you have a group of 10 or more who need to receive the same training; the instructor comes to your facility at a time convenient for you.

 

 
 

Online Courses
NPMA offers several self-study courses that allow you to learn at your own pace, and from anywhere, and at anytime.  You have the flexibility to start and stop at your convenience and pick up later right where you left off.  Whether you are preparing for NPMA certification, or just trying to learn more about a specific topic, our Online Courses can help. 

Just click on the link above and see the courses offered.

 

 

 
 

Webinars

Now you can access presentations by NPMA subject-matter experts at your convenience.  And the instructor is available all year to answer your questions, which are posted along with those of other participants so you can see all the Qs & As related to the presentation.

With a video projector and speakers, a whole roomful can experience the presentation, too.  And special pricing allows group participants to earn CEU credits as well.

 

 
 

 

On-Site Courses

Any of the classroom courses offered during the year can be brought to your facility and presented to your organization, or can be tailored to meet your needs.  On-Site courses are a good because:

  • They save on employee travel time and eliminate hotel and travel expenses.
  • The course content can be modified to focus more narrowly on the needs of a particular group or functional specialty, or can be a mix of topics.

Seminars

National Education Seminar

The National Education Seminar (NES) is an annual event bringing together property professionals from the federal, state, and local governments; hospitals; colleges & universities; contractors; private sectors; and vendors providing products and services to the property profession. The NES conducts a variety of workshops and training sessions led by renowned speakers and it provides demonstrations, exhibits, and networking opportunities. For details of this year's NES, click the 2010 NES link. 

Region and Chapter Seminars

Three annual Regional Seminars offer many of the same benefits as the NES at a location closer to your organization. Many Chapters also host one- and two-day seminars. For details of these events, see our Calendar of Events.

 

Financial Support

If you are not able to obtain your employer’s financial support for you to attend an NPMA course or seminar, you can apply to the NPMA Foundation for assistance with tuition and travel expenses.  If you have been an NPMA member for at least two years, you can qualify for a grant from the NPMA Foundation.

Degree Programs

If you're looking for a way to move up in the field of property and asset management, or you want to increase your knowledge, or make an impact on your career potential, NPMA is pleased to announce our partnership with Stevens-Henager College to offer college degrees specializing in property management.
