Educated Business Partner

The Business Partner Essentials is a two-part, online course to help CAI-member service providers better understand CAI, community associations and the industry at large. Individuals who pass the course and maintain CAI membership earn the CAI Educated Business Partner distinction, gaining special recognition among thousands of companies and professionals who support common-interest communities—accountants, attorneys, bankers, insurance professionals, landscapers, painters, reserve specialists, software providers, and many others. The course includes an online webinar with exam and is approximately three hours, with additional reading materials available. The cost of the course is $99. When you take the course, watch for CAI-CV members. The new international course was filmed at CAI-CV's live EBP course in January, 2018. CAI-CV will offer the course live again in 2023.
