Overview
The Ward Center for Real Estate Studies was formed in 2007 to provide advanced and continuing education to CCIM Institute members and non-members on relevant and
timely topics in the commercial real estate industry.

A major goal of the Ward Center is to equip CCIM Chapters with education resources that generate membership and participation at the local level.
Joint-venture deliveries are based on 50/50 net revenue share between Institute and Chapter after Course Delivery Fees are reimbursed (see fees below)
CCIM Institute coordinates instructor, student registrations and course materials, and assists with marketing for all joint-venture deliveries
