Certified Professional Building Manager (CPBM™)

Become a confident, qualified building manager with Canada’s first advanced certification program built specifically for the realities of residential property operations in BC and Alberta.

Whether you’re a live-in caretaker taking on your first building, a residential property staff member ready to formalize your skills, or a rental property manager looking to reduce legal exposure, the CPBM™ program gives you the practical, plain-English training you need — backed by real jurisdiction-specific law, not generic property management theory.

Unlike other certification programs, CPBM™ doesn’t stop at tenancy basics. You’ll also master strata and condo management — an area most competing courses skip entirely — along with the documentation habits and risk-mitigation strategies that protect both you and the property owners you work for.

What you’ll learn across 10 modules:

Understanding the Building Manager Role
BC & Alberta Tenancy Law
Tenant Relations & Boundaries
Documentation & Legal Protection
Emergency Preparedness
Financial Basics
Strata & Condo Management
Building Systems & Preventive Maintenance
Health, Safety & Compliance
Accessibility & Human Rights

Learn with real support, not just recorded videos
Every Wednesday from 7–8pm PT, join a live instructor-led Q&A session where you can ask questions, work through real scenarios, and get direct guidance from an instructor with 20+ years of BC real estate experience.

What’s included

Full access to all 10 modules for 365 days from enrollment
A hardcopy course text mailed to you
Weekly live Q&A sessions
Final assessment — score 70% or higher to earn your CPBM™ professional designation

Investment: $2,097 CAD + tax (one-time tuition)

By the end of this program, you won’t just understand the rules — you’ll know how to apply them on the job, protect yourself and your employer, and operate with the confidence of a true professional.
