Registration links for the

STR Certification Course

2-Day Live Course,

2- Week Self-Study Online Course, and 

2-Day Interactive Online Course Sessions

(and watch for the 4-hour Vacation Rental Governance Seminar)

And the newest version is a flexible enrollment course ! The course is open continually so students can register and enter the course, completing it self-study and with periodic live online discussion sessions.

The cost is set by the university or college, usually at around $300 total for tuition, textbook, and fees for the course.

If you don't see a course date that fits your needs, please call Julie at 702-755-6881 or send an email to . 

​

Due to COVID-19 classroom closures, we are offering online version. When classrooms open, we will add dates for live 2-day classes. If a live 2-day online course is desired, please contact Julie to be notified when we have enough students to hold a course session.

Please click on the desired date/session (the white boxes) to be directed to the college or university registration page (check back often because dates are added as they are approved by the universities). All of the following course dates/course versions qualify for the education requirement for City STVR registrations and licensing.​

​

​New! Enter the online self-study course any time within the session with flexible enrollment!

• Flexible enrollment is open from now through November 13, 2020 for the current course session through DSU (online self-study course). Enter the course and complete it within a couple of days or within the longer course session.

• November 1 through December 30, 2020 through DSU (online self-study flexible enrollment course). Enter the course and complete it within a couple of days or within the longer course session.

Please watch for more dates as the colleges refresh their schedules (and classrooms open). During COVID-19 closures, we find that the best option for students is the online self-study course version. We're anxious to resume our live classes, too, when closures are lifted.

​

NOTE: We have offered several class sessions each month using various versions and at several universities and colleges. Please contact Julie at 702-755-6881 or send an email to strcertification@gmail.com if you need a unique course session for your area or organization. The 2-day live online version hasn't been popular enough to hold frequent course sessions. If you have a group that wants this version, please let Julie know.

About the Course

​

The STR Certification Course is only offered through Accredited Higher Education Institutions. The Certification Seal is used by course graduates to show that they have taken their STR knowledge to a professional level. Registration is handled through the colleges and universities, so you first need to create a student account and then register within their system.

​

It's about quality education for an emerging industry.

​

We also list other continuing education opportunities so please check this site often to find resources for increasing your STR knowledge and connections (see Events & Promotions page).

Certification Courses

for STR Professionals

within Accredited

Higher Education Settings

Colleges and universities have recognized the community need for this course. That's why it's offered at a low tuition cost and in several locations.

​

Several municipalities are requiring STR license applicants to complete education and this course is often their approved educational program. Students can take the course from any of the locations (live or online) to qualify for the approved STR Certification.

​

Real Estate Commissions recognize that short-term rental laws and practices are markedly different from long-term rental laws and practices. Realtors working with investors need to understand where STRs are permitted. The live course session qualifies for Utah, Nevada, and Florida RE CE. 

​

The e-Course versions of the STR Certification Course

There are several online versions of the STR Certification Course (normally 2-days of live instruction in university classrooms). Each online course version is different. The online version includes modules that students must complete over a few days or a few weeks at their own pace which include lectures, textbook reading assignments, course assignments, discussion board exercises, quizzes, and the final examination.

The 2-day live e-course version holds lectures and quizzes through an online interactive platform such as ZOOM or Big Blue Button. Students must attend the full 2-days, with video connection, and complete the final examination through the learning management system. Sessions will be offered through DSU, UVU, TMCC, and CSN.

​

The flexible enrollment self-study course version through DSU offers online lectures, ZOOM discussion sessions, assignments, quizzes, and the final examination.

​

And we're excited about the launch of an online course version that will allow students to enter the virtual classroom after registering (without a set course date, which may be more convenient for some students). 

​

Watch for more dates as the universities and colleges add new classes to their 2020 and 2021 Semester Calendars.

About the Colleges and Universities

Over a dozen colleges and universities have offered the STR Certification Course either in the 2-day version or as a semester-long course within a degree program.

We appreciate higher education for recognizing the community need for quality education for this emerging industry by offering the course at a low tuition rate and in multiple locations and dates.

We are pleased to make this course accessible through different e-course versions and live sessions.
