BECOME A COURSE INSTRUCTOR

You first need to find a “home”—a specific course provider—for whom to teach. These organizations include State and Local REALTOR® Association Boards, proprietary schools, and a network of educational franchises. A complete list of course providers is available for review.

Please contact a provider and submit your resume for consideration. If hired, your contract will be between you and that licensed provider only. The provider will also be responsible for providing you with the course materials for any CRD courses you can teach.

Once hired, the provider will contact CRD, and you’ll be added to the database as an approved instructor. At that time, you will also be added to CRD’s approved instructor e-mail list, so you can begin receiving instructor information from CRD.

CRD monitors instructor performance through instructor evaluations. Instructors are also required to attend an ABR® Instructor Recertification workshop—a continuing requirement that must be met every two years.

Yes, unless you have an exclusive contract with your course provider.

CRD is not involved in compensation agreements – unless CRD offers the course.  Compensation is negotiated between you and the course provider. In establishing these agreements, we recommend that you also discuss compensation for hotel, travel, and food expenses, if applicable, and document these terms in writing before you begin teaching.
