Registration links for the

STR Certification Course

The newest version of the STR Certification Course is the flexible enrollment course !  This course version is open continually for enrollment throughout the longer course session window, so students can register and enter the course, completing it  through self-study  within a few days of intense coursework or over a few weeks at a slower pace. There are video lectures, virtual discussions, short assignments, and quizzes that prep students for the final exam.  Periodic live online discussion sessions allow for questions and interaction with other students.
When classrooms open, we will resume all  versions of the course:
2-Day Live Course,
2- Week Self-Study Online Course, and 
2-Day Interactive Online Course Sessions
Flexible Enrollment Self-Study e-course
(and watch for the 4-hour Vacation Rental Governance Seminar)

The cost is set by the university or college, usually at less than $300 total (for tuition, textbook, certification review, 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 strcertification@gmail.com. 

​

Due to COVID-19 classroom closures, we are only offering online versions 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 (if you don't see an option that currently works for you, visit this site again later since 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.​

​

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

You can start the Course today!

​

• The Online Flexible Enrollment Self-Study open NOW through October 27, 2021. (Click the white box to access the UVU registration link). You can register now or anytime during the course session window. Students can begin coursework sometimes hours or even minutes after registering. All coursework for this session must be completed before 11/10/21.

​

• 2-Day Live In-Person Class in Las Vegas, tentatively scheduled for Thursday & Friday, August 26-27, 2021. Please watch for the registration link and location information as we confirm details. (COVID-19 closures are still in place in some buildings, but we are trying to open the course offerings to live in-person sessions, too.)

​

​

• 2-Day Live Class Session in Lehi, Utah on September 21-22, 2021 (Click the white box to access the UVU registration link).  With classrooms still closed, it is hard to predict if this course session will be in-person on campus or virtual through ZOOM. We're working on having it as a live, in-person course, though.

​

Please watch for more dates as the universities refresh their schedules (and classrooms open). We're anxious to resume our live classes, too, when closures are lifted.

​

NOTE: We usually have offered several class sessions each month using various versions and at several universities and colleges. And the online self-study option allows students to enter the e-course at any time and complete it at their own pace.

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. 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 on a regular schedule through DSU, UVU, TMCC, and CSN. Other universities hold course sessions, too.

​

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 live or online professional course versions, or as a semester-long course within degree programs.

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.

​

If you want a course session at your local college or university, contact Julie at 702-755-6881 or strcertification@gmail.com.

​

The course began with our first session being at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) in February 2018. Hosts and managers from many countries and from across the USA have traveled to Las Vegas and now to other cities to attend the course. With the e-course versions, students have the flexibility to complete the course from nearly anywhere in the world. We're pleased to offer this course through different e-course versions and live sessions.

​

We will add more dates as needed. Please call Julie at 702-755-6881 or email to strcertification@gmail.com to be placed on the list.

​

With COVID-19 Closures, we are in the process of  evaluating live or online courses and will add more course dates soon at several universities.

There are online course sessions available at other universities that qualify for City STVR Registration and Licensing Requirements.

​

There are not current course offerings through the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) due to a change in administration that doesn't allow for RE CE through CSN. The STR Certification Course is held through other Nevada Colleges and RE Associations, though.

​

We've consolidated course offerings within the university programs that best address the needs of online learners.
