February is National Designation Month

NAHB Designations give members a competitive edge

Last February, more than 1,700 members completed their professional designation course work during NAHB’s National Designation Month. The designations they earned enabled them to stay well ahead of the curve and have given them an edge over their competition.

This February, The NAHB University of Housing is again sponsoring National Designation Month so members can hone their business skills and convey to their clients the superior training, practical experience and in-depth knowledge that come with earning an NAHB designation.

As part of National Designation Month, The NAHB University of Housing is offering licensed associations a 50% discount on student fees for all classes held in February.
NAHB will also be educating the public about the value of selecting builders and other members who hold NAHB designations, build support for continuing education programs and increase recognition of the rigorous training required for NAHB designations.

NAHB offers more than a dozen professional designations covering industry basics such as business management and marketing, as well as specialized classes including aging-in-place programs, property management and more. For information about designations, go to www.nahb.org/designations.
