Take Advantage of National Desigation Month

February is National Designation Month and to celebrate the month the NAHB University of Housing is offering more than 140 classes during February.

The NAHB University of Housing offers more than a dozen professional designations covering industry basics such as business management and marketing techniques, along with specialized courses including aging-in-place programs, property management and more.

Earning a designation allows NAHB members to hone their business skills and convey to their clients that they have superior training, practical experience and in-depth knowledge.

Additionally, designation holders can take advantage of valuable networking opportunities throughout their enrollment by working closely with expert instructors and other professionals both within their field and outside their specific areas of expertise.

To participate in National Designation Month, visit Designation Month Resources on the NAHB Web site.
