CAPS Testimonials
"Your methods of teaching the CAPS course were effective and kept my attention through your real world application of the information you taught and the experiences you shared with us. I came back to work on Friday feeling like I had just come off a vacation, I was recharged and possessed a newfound motivation to really challenge myself to grow in this business and ultimately increase my company’s revenue."
- Matthew Gardner
"The class was fantastic, not only did I come away with a lot more knowledge in how to manage a portfolio of properties, I feel rejuvenated and a special excitement about the task. I have been a Vice President for five years and prior to that an Regional Manager, this course provided me with other ways to review and analyze legal and risk management, financial management, property performance management, property evaluation and effective leadership."
- Joan Copeland
"The CAPS Express class is by far the most beneficial industry-specific class I have attended. The express version is a great way for busy multi-site or corporate level staff to receive the CAPS designation in a way that is conducive to a hectic schedule without losing any of the class content. As a student housing professional, I found the class to be extremely informative, learning theories and tools that can be applied across the industry no matter what niche you work in. CAPS Express gives you tools that can be implemented immediately to enhance community performance in all facets of operations. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking further their career in the multifamily industry."
- Heather Sizemore
"I am pleased to share my priceless experience in attending CAPS Express. The four days were thought-provoking and full of useful information. The content provided, coupled with the input that Alex Jackiw encouraged between the participants and she made for an inspiring exchange, which will help me manage my portfolio more effectively. Participating in this course has been one of the most valuable investments I have made in my professional career. Thank you NAAEI for offering such a convenient option for obtaining the CAPS designation."
