Associates & Trade Education

Certified Graduate Associate (CGA)

CGAVeteran and new associate members (product and service suppliers) alike gain a professional advantage with the Certified Graduate Associate (CGA) designation. The CGA designation affirms your heightened level of industry acumen and knowledge, a willingness to learn the building side of the industry, and a commitment to your professional future.

You'll gain: improved marketing and customer service skills; greater understanding of the business side of the industry; broader insight regarding the construction process and critical industry issues; and the ability to address more effectively the needs of your builder and remodelor customers. The CGA is attained by completing three mandatory and three elective classes and is maintained by completing one class annually.

 

Certified Graduate Remodelor (CGR)

CGRGet a bigger piece of the lucrative, but highly competitive, remodeling pie with the prestigious Certified Graduate Remodelor (CGR) designation. The CGR is key to enhancing your competitive edge; expanding your customer base; increasing the quality of your customer leads; supporting your business with your improved management and technical skills; and increasing your professional credibility and gaining recognition as an industry leader.

The first step is the Professional Remodelors Experience Profile (PREP) - a three-hour, multiple-choice assessment that measures your knowledge of the five core areas of remodeling business management: marketing and sales; business administration; design, estimating and job cost; contracts, liability and risk management; and project management. It is taken electronically through NAHB. Your PREP results determine which courses, if any, you must complete to earn the CGR designation.
