"I received my CAM designation 10 years ago and wondered how different CAPS would be. I was excited that I was able to be a part of the 2014 CAPS class. This designation course has helped me “think like an owner” in all the day to day operations and procedures in maintaining and growing a successful team and company. Whether you are a couple years into the industry or have been involved in property management over 10 years, you will learn something new from this course."
