How to Become a CRD Instructor

Are you interested in joining our team of instructors? If so, please review the following suggestions, which will help get you started in teaching the ABR® Designation Course and other CRD offerings.

How do I become an instructor for CRD?

The first thing you need to do is find a "home"—a specific course provider—for whom to teach. These organizations include State and Local REALTOR® Association Boards, proprietary schools, as well as a network of educational franchises. A complete list of course providers can be found here.

Submit your resume to one of these providers. If hired, your contract will be between you and that licensed provider only. The provider will also be responsible for providing the course materials for any CRD courses that you are qualified to teach.

Once you are hired, the provider will contact CRD where you’ll be added to the database as an approved instructor. At that time you will also be added to CRD’s approved instructor e-mail list, so you can begin receiving instructor information from CRD.

Can I teach for other CRD course providers?

Yes, unless you have an exclusive contract with your course provider.

How am I compensated for teaching CRD courses?

CRD is not involved in any compensation agreements (unless CRD is offering the course). This is negotiated between you and the course provider. In establishing these agreements, we recommend that you also discuss compensation for hotel, travel, and food expenses, if applicable, and document these terms in writing before you begin teaching.
