about the live and online course sessions, including the new online interactive class
You can attend this innovative live course through online self-study sessions or, when classrooms are open in Nevada, Florida, or in Northern or Southern Utah, California, Washington, Georgia, Iowa, New York, New Jersey, Idaho, Oregon, Arizona, Texas,... --- and other locations through accredited higher education institutions and associations! We also have several versions of the online course. This course is only offered within Accredited Higher Education Institutions which keeps the content secure from special interests and greatly reduces the cost for this vital education.
Whether you own, manage, sell, or book nights at a vacation rental home or homeshare, here's a great way to learn about this alternate lodging option. Improve your profits and earn more 5-Star reviews----for less than the cost of a short reservation!
Why did we develop this course? We received repeated requests from public officials who recognized that a few hosts know what they are doing, but too many hosts make disruptive mistakes because they simply don't. The course authors also received numerous calls from hosts who were in serious trouble --- and it was usually a costly problem that could have been avoided if they had received quality vacation home/STR education (these calls included reported hefty fines for not being properly licensed or for not following STR regulations; fines for the bad behavior of guests in STR homes and neighborhoods; lawsuits; costly damage to their homes; injured guests; disputes with the hosting platforms; ... and lack of sufficient income to cover the expense of hosting a home or room). This course reviews applicable laws, best practices, and innovative tools and tips that every host and property manager needs to know to stay out of trouble and to be more profitable!
Community Colleges and Universities put this course through a stringent academic reviews before allowing it to be held within accredited higher education institutions. Real Estate Divisions also evaluated the course content before allowing CE for course graduates. This is not just a simple webinar or seminar. This is a college-level course, complete with an acclaimed textbook! (The same textbook is also used in semester-long courses within degree programs. The 2-day live course and e-course versions are for industry professionals).
Course graduates have rated this course with high scores and have clicked the evaluation box saying that they would recommend the course to other hosts, property managers, realtors, investors, vendors, hoteliers, municipal leaders, and investors. Learn time-honored short-term rental industry 'best practices' along with laws and tips about innovations that help hosts better communicate with and monitor guests, keep more of the profits, and be neighborhood-friendly.
The live course session qualifies for Real Estate CE in some states due to the critical need for real estate professionals to understand this emerging industry. Realtors who don't know the difference between traditional property management and short-term rental contracts/procedures are causing problems for themselves and their clients.
Many universities are hosting this 2-day course or online version for less than $400 per student (the price includes tuition, instruction, testing, a renowned textbook, and course materials---it is set by the university). This is a trusted, cost-effective investment in your STR business! There is also a Flexible Enrollment Self-Study e-course version that students can enter any time and complete it at their own pace. The tuition is usually less than $300.
When you pass this course, you can use the honored STR Certification Seal to show that you have taken your knowledge and commitment to a professional level! It's taught within accredited higher education institutions, so the content is secure and it has been through academic reviews. Some municipalities are requiring this trusted course for their STR license applicants. Graduates are hosting guests throughout the USA and in dozens of other countries.
Space is limited, so register early! And we have the flexible enrollment option always available for the online self-study course.
If you don't see a date that works for you, we can usually add a live or live online class date with the commitment of a minimum 25 registrants. Get together with your associates and contact Julie about scheduling a convenient session for you!
There are more locations and dates in the works! Please check back for updates --- and share with your associates.
(Some Higher Education Institutions only allow for course promotion through their sites, so if you don't see your college or university here, please check their continuing education catalog or send us an email.)
Here's what Course Graduates say about it:
"My Wife and I have had Rental Cabins in Duck Creek Village , UT since 2009, and “thought” that we were well versed on the business, (until attending this class last weekend).
We learned many things from Julie’s presentations, as well as from networking with fellow attendees. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is currently running an STR, or plan on running one in the future.... 👍"
