Every professional achieving the designation has successfully completed a graduate-level curriculum totaling 200 classroom hours, as well as completing a comprehensive exam. Only 6 percent of all commercial real estate practitioners hold the elite CCIM designation, which reflects not only the caliber of the program, but why it is the most coveted and respected designation in commercial investment real estate.
