The logistics of obtaining Housing Credit training are frustrating. Normally it means waiting until a trainer comes to town, getting in your car, driving to a hotel, hunting for a parking spot, sitting in a room on a hard, uncomfortable seat with other people who insist on talking while the trainer is teaching and either freezing because the room is too cold or sweating because it is too hot!

Oh, and that is only if the training is located in your same town...

If not, you get to add flying our not-so-friendly skies or driving in a strange city choked with traffic and staying in a hotel which usually means crappy food, uncomfortable beds and precious time away from family and friends! And if that wasn't enough... you get the astronomical travel expenses and the lost time from work to boot!

And let's not forget about the AGONY of hiring new staff and trying to figure out how you are going to get them trained IMMEDIATELY! As, if finding people to hire and hoping they will work out isn't bad enough, you get the joy of figuring out HOW you are going to get them trained or de-programmed of their bad habits if they worked for another management company and this feat has to be accomplished IMMEDIATELY so they don't jeopardize compliance or else you  must baby-sit them until a training is offered in your area.

Enough already! It is time for a change! 
It is time that compliance training moves into the
21st Century and is... 

at YOUR CONVENIENCE;

allows you to get the information YOU WANT IMMEDIATELY when YOU NEED it, not when the next training comes your way; and

does NOT FORCE you to endure days out of the office or costly travel expenses to get it!

And that is just what the Housing Credit College has done with its newest training vehicle the... Online Training Center... a full array of classes on Housing Credit compliance & property management, conveniently accessible via your office or home computer and its Internet access, immediately available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

At the Online Training Center, you will find a Course Catalog containing such courses as Housing Credits 101: Compliance Basics, a 3-hour course teaching your new hires or those just beginning to work with this Program the basic compliance requirements to get them started on the right foot... and Housing Credits 204: Unique Program Rules, a 4-hour lesson that will walk you through the rules that are unique to the Housing Credit Program including unit transfers, full-time students, the Available Unit Rule and the Unit Vacancy Rule.

Each course was designed, created and is taught by me, Elizabeth Moreland, personally, so you can have the confidence in knowing the information is correct, up-to-date and understandable! I will also be the one updating the course as new information is published by the IRS or becomes an industry norm. Just as with our public and private workshops, the mission of the Online Training Center is to "Train Housing Credit Compliance Managers to Be Compliance Confident!"

The courses are easy to understand and match the quality of the Housing Credit College's public workshops. When designing the courses, I made sure I used the same teaching methods you expect at my public workshops including...

Teaching in a straightforward, plain-English, without cumbersome legalese language, so you don't have to have a dictionary right next to you to understand what I am saying;

Sharing real-life stories and experiences that help drive the point home and assist you in relating to the concepts being taught;

Using multiple teaching techniques so you are not just relying on hearing what I am saying but are also visualizing through the use of illustrations and are getting hands-on experience through loads of examples; and

Facilitating this whole experience with incredible reference materials so you can follow along easily and more importantly, refer to when applying the information in your day-to-day working life!

The courses were carefully crafted to ensure the information is actually understood. It doesn't do anybody any good, except waste a lot of time, to take a course only to complete it and be confused. So, each course includes:

Self-paced control so you can proceed at your own pace, take notes freely and repeat information as needed;

Numerous examples and illustrations teaching you the concepts to ensure you can grasp the ideas;

Anticipation and discussion of the commonly asked questions as normally heard in an interactive setting so your questions automatically get answered as you are learning;

And for those of you who are supervisors, I have put in special features that will ensure your staff actually completes the course and learns the information including:

Quizzes after each section that must be passed before proceeding to the next section ensuring the concepts are learned and understood;

Randomized quiz questions so if any quizzes need to be retaken, the questions will not be the same forcing the learning of the information and not just memorizing the right answers!

And, the Certification of Successful Completion is only available after the entire course and all of its quizzes have been successfully completed!

The Online Training Center also factors in the chaotic nature of the job and the real-world of property management. No two days are ever alike in this business and there is no such thing as a "typical" day, so, when creating the functionality of the Online Training Center, I concentrated on this fact and included the ability for you to:

Stop and start a course as needed because interruptions are common plus we added a feature that automatically saves the spot in the course where you left off so when you return, you don't have to try and remember where you were;

Take multiple courses at the same time as it is not unheard of to have to suddenly learn a specific concept or about a specific area of compliance while in the middle of another course; and

Take the course or courses you have signed up for over an ample period of time since we know that the best laid plans can be delayed due to unexpected emergencies, changes in staff and/or workload causing you to have to put your training on hold for a bit!

And finally, the Online Training Center allows you to track the progress of your staff to ensure they are actually taking the courses and that you are getting the most out of your training dollars. No matter how great the individual trainings are or how easy the Online Training Center is to use, if you can't keep track of the staff you sign up or even your own progress, there is no sense going this route, so I have designed the Center to include:

A Certification of Successful Completion that you or your staff can print out after fully completing each course and its learning requirements so you can document your education for your State Agency, investor, or supervisor;

A report that you may view which indicates the status of the staff people you have directed to take courses to ensure the course has been started and completed and that will also track the overall score obtained, the amount of time it took to complete, and the number of times the course was repeated; and

The administration of your own account as desired including adding new hires or removing staff that are no longer with you and assigning additional courses to those ready for more training.

This is a supervisor's dream... so much so that I think supervisors will find the functionality and the incredible trainings actually BETTER then the live courses I have been teaching for over ten years and better than our Educational DVDs for 6 SIMPLE REASONS...

  1. The courses are immediately available! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week right from the convenience of your own office computers or at the very least your staff's personal home computer and its Internet access... no more waiting for me or any trainer for that matter to come to the area. 

And even if you don't have computers or high speed internet access, today there are coffee shops, copy centers like Kinko's, libraries and other convenient places that have these available for a nominal usage fee!

  1. Waiting for training will become a thing of the past! 

No more waiting until probationary periods are over or the office and the workload have quieted down enough (yeah right!) to get trained... instead you can get the information you need in 2 to 3 hour chunks... reducing the staff's downtime and the risk of noncompliance.

  1. The course offerings are substantial!! 

Our Educational DVDs only cover subjects for new hires and are focused on giving the viewer the basics where the Online Training Center courses cover both fundamentals and advanced topics with new courses being added regularly. My goal is to give you access to our full array of trainings normally only accessible through our 2 public weeks of trainings know as our Pathways to Success.

  1. The design of the courses has built-in learning requirements giving confidence the information is actually learned! 

Quite simply, your staff has TO PAY ATTENTION to complete the courses contained at the Online Training Center. You can't guarantee the same when sending them to a public workshop because for all you know the people you are sending are sleeping in the back of the room, goofing off or skipping out early. But with the Housing Credit College's Online Training Center, the person must pass the randomized quizzes contained at the end of each section in order to proceed through the course and receive their Certification of Completion!

  1. The built in tracking tools will allow easy monitoring of your staff's progress! 

With the simple tracking tools, you can check up on your staff anytime... anyplace... to determine if they started and completed the courses, determine their scores and the number of times it took them to complete each course giving you the ability to ensure your staff is doing as directed.

  1. The opportunity for taking the course is not lost due to sick days or emergencies! 

There is nothing more frustrating to have an educational opportunity lost due to these unforeseen circumstances; especially if you have waited for such a training to come to town for months and then it is lost due to an illness or emergency. After signing up for a Housing Credit College On-Line Training Center course, you have are given ample time to complete it so if emergencies or illnesses occur you don't lose the ability to take the training.

"By just doing the free demo, if the rest of the courses are like this, you are definitely on to something here. I think it's a great way to learn the FINE details in this job, yet be able to be close by if needed for the day. I love this! And I look forward to learning through many more courses this way."

Tammy Nickolson, 
Whitley Crossings
Neighborhood Corporation, 
Columbia City, IN

"The course is easy to use and very well laid out. It provides the user to review at their own speed and it allows me to break for phone calls. (Something that you can not do at a course in a hotel.) It also provides the user to communicate when necessary. I truly think that this is the answer and will be signing up for the actual courses. Thanks for the online demo, it most certainly helps in making decisions as to partake or not."

John Widmark, 
President,
Widmark's LLC,

"I have been in the industry for about a year and the topics in this sample course were presented in a very clear and concise manner."

Elsie Ortiz, 
Housing Credit/Bond Compliance, 
Royal American Mgmt.,
Panama City, FL

"The notion that travel to a major city for classroom training is too expensive for my properties is no longer a valid reason to not send all property staff to training. Send them to class in cyberspace! I went, and it didn't cost anything for travel. I could see and hear my instructor clearly, I could repeat any topic with a point and click of my mouse, I could take a break on "my" schedule, and I was able to learn what I needed to learn."

Pam Mullinax, 
Director of Compliance, 
HSI Management, Inc. Atlanta, GA

"This was awesome! I love the speed and the information that it contains and your ability to review notes taken through out the course and going back and reviewing. You have two thumbs up from me. If I had three thumbs you would have it too!"

Jett Woodwick,

Tondi Cisneros, 
Hyder and Company,

Thank you for being there for me with on-the-mark training that is now available 24/7."

Anita Hall, 
Lloyd Mgmt., Inc.
