Elective Options: Real Estate Continuing Education Courses and Programs
To become an ABR® you must complete one core course—the ABR® Designation Course and one elective option. When selecting an elective option, you may wish to consider other designation opportunities, because many of these elective options also count towards other designation requirements. See Career Counseling for more details.
