The Accredited Commercial Manager (ACoM) is an early-career certification from the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), designed for property managers building a career in commercial or mixed-use real estate. It pairs two foundational courses — Ethics for the Real Estate Manager (ETH800) and Managing Mixed-Use Properties (MXD201) — with a certification exam and a documented year of qualifying management experience. The ACoM curriculum covers the full scope of the role: fiduciary and financial fundamentals, leasing and tenant relations, property maintenance and risk management, staff leadership, and the professional ethics that underpin every decision a manager makes. Earning the ACoM signals to employers and owners that a manager has mastered the core competencies of commercial property management and is ready to take on greater responsibility. For managers who plan to continue their career, the ACoM also serves as an entry point toward IREM's Certified Property Manager (CPM) designation.
 

What You’ll Learn: 
 

  • Apply fiduciary, accounting, and budgeting principles to protect and grow an owner's investment

  • Attract, lease to, and retain the right tenant mix across commercial or mixed-use space

  • Build tenant and community relationships that support long-term retention and reputation

  • Develop maintenance, inspection, and risk-management programs for the physical property

  • Recruit, lead, and manage a property team, and administer the management office

  • Apply professional ethics to real-world situations and conflicts of interest, and make sound decisions under commercial pressure
     

Who Should Enroll? 
 

Early-career property managers building a career in commercial or mixed-use real estate, and anyone who wants a recognized credential before advancing toward IREM's CPM designation.

Prerequisites

None to begin the coursework. A minimum of one year (12 months) of qualifying commercial or mixed-use property management experience is required before the ACoM designation can be awarded.
