Certified Apartment Manager Logo For Property Management Credentials

NAA Property Management Credentials

The National Apartment Association, or NAA for short, offers 8 property management credentials for professionals in the multi-family housing industry. These credentials cover most aspects of operating a multi-family property. In addition to credentials for property managers, leasing professionals, maintenance technicians, and suppliers, they also offer specialty credentials for low-income housing and green properties.

Earning NAA Property Management Credentials

Every NAA credential requires multi-family professionals to demonstrate practical work experience, complete online educational courses, and pass an online exam. The process is slightly different for every credential, but all of them will require professional experience and an examination. For specialty credentials, such as the Specialist in Housing Credit Management, there are specific coursework requirements and longer experience requirements.
