Does this program complete all CCIM Designation requirements? Arrow Arrow
This ThinkProp program covers CI 101–CI 104. Earning the full CCIM Designation is subject to The CCIM Institute’s official requirements, which may include candidate membership, ethics training, negotiations training, elective credits, portfolio approval, and the Comprehensive Exam.
The program covers the four CCIM core courses: CI 101 Financial Analysis, CI 102 Market Analysis, CI 103 User Decision Analysis, and CI 104 Investment Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate.
The Portfolio of Qualifying Experience is the method used to verify a candidate’s qualifying commercial real estate experience. Candidates generally need an approved portfolio before sitting for the CCIM Comprehensive Exam, unless they qualify through an approved Fast Track route.
Candidate members may begin compiling their portfolio after completing CI 101. Candidates should always follow the latest CCIM Institute submission deadlines and instructions.
The portfolio can be submitted under Traditional, Streamlined, or Streamlined Non-Transactional tracks. The Traditional Portfolio requires at least two consecutive years of full-time commercial real estate experience. The Streamlined Portfolio requires five or more consecutive years of full-time commercial real estate experience. The Streamlined Non-Transactional Portfolio is for high-level commercial real estate professionals with five or more consecutive years in the same role or leadership responsibility.
Qualifying experience may include completed commercial real estate sales or acquisitions, commercial investment leasing, commercial mortgage financing, commercial real estate consulting, commercial appraisal, development, and financial analysis work, provided the candidate can document substantial involvement and meet CCIM Institute requirements.
Common non-qualifying activities include residential transactions of four units or fewer, residential leasing, apartment management and apartment leasing, general property management duties, residential appraisals, referral fees, flipping houses, internships, and activities where the candidate did not have material participation.
Depending on the portfolio track, candidates may need a signed application, professional resume, summary of qualifying activities, activity data forms, role and responsibility explanation, employment verification or affidavit, proof of material participation, transaction documents, and recommendation letters.
Certain professionals holding approved designations may be eligible for Fast Track Institute Candidate Membership. Fast Track eligibility may reduce or waive specific portfolio or elective requirements, but candidates must follow The CCIM Institute’s official process and complete any remaining requirements.
This program is suitable for commercial real estate brokers and advisors, developers, investors, property consultants, asset managers, leasing and acquisition professionals, analysts, lenders, and professionals seeking advanced commercial real estate expertise or pursuing the CCIM Designation.
