Earning the CCIM Designation as a University Fast Track Member

University Fast Track Graduate members* have 48 months from the time they join to complete the following Designation requirements:

• CI 101 Course Exam 
   
• Negotiations Training
  Eight hours of negotiations training is required before going on to CI 103 and CI 104. This requirement can be completed either through our online Preparing to Negotiate course, the one-day classroom course Commercial Real Estate Negotiations, or the two-day classroom Advanced Negotiation Workshop.

• Online Ethics Course. This free training covers The CCIM Institute Code and Standards of Practice of The CCIM Institute. 
   
• Elective Credits - WAIVED
   
• Portfolio of Qualifying Experience
  This portfolio demonstrates your experience in commercial real estate. You are eligible to submit it any time after completing CI 101. Submissions are reviewed approximately two months prior to each Comprehensive Exam.
