On-demand Courses

Q: What is required to receive credit/proof of attendance for an on-demand course?

Q: Will I have instant access to all course materials upon registration?

A. Yes. Assuming you register via the NAIOP website, you will receive an email with login instructions from NAIOP Learning within minutes of the payment being processed online. If you register via fax or check, it can take up to three business days from receipt of payment for you to receive your login instructions. Please note, check payments can take up to two weeks to process through the bank. Online registration is the preferred and fastest method.
