Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the track take to complete?

Most learners complete all 7 courses in 2–3 days at a comfortable pace. Each module runs 15–25 minutes. There is no deadline — learners have lifetime access and can complete the courses at their own speed.

Can I buy seats for my whole team?

Yes. Use the “Buy Additional Seats” option at checkout, or contact us at learn@pmuniversity.com for orders of 10 or more seats. We can accommodate company-wide onboarding packages.

Who is this for?

PM Foundations is built for anyone starting in residential property management, whether you’re a brand-new hire, transitioning from real estate or leasing, or an owner who wants every new team member trained consistently from day one.

Is this an industry certification like CAM or CALP?

No — and that’s intentional. PM Foundations is a pre-credential track. It gives new hires the foundational knowledge they need before pursuing a credential like CALP or CAM. Think of it as the starting line, not the finish line.

Why only $75?

We believe the industry needs a consistent, affordable on-ramp for new hires. At $75, there’s no reason for any new PM professional to start their career without foundational training. It should be a standard part of every new hire’s first week.

When do I receive my certificate?

The PM Foundations Certificate is automatically issued when all 7 courses are marked complete. You’ll be able to download and share a PDF certificate immediately.
