Professional Education Programs
Why education?
A highly-skilled staff ensures your operations run more cost efficiently, residents and staff are more satisfied and a greater number of your apartments stay occupied, all resulting in a substantial increase in your organization’s value. Simply put, a highly educated and trained staff equals an improved bottom line.

Class attendance disclosure
CAA has made every effort to secure the best possible registration rate for all classes and events. That rate results from a negotiated overall package of all class and event needs such as instructors, classroom space and other requirements. CAA will incur costs if the association falls short of its minimum 10 student attendance guarantee per class or event. CAA appreciates your support and understanding of this important issue. If you experience difficulties when registering, please contact Alana at Education@caapts.org
