Frequently Asked Questions
Q. When you say that CLEO provides a general leasing education, what do you mean?
A. We distinguish between lease education and training. Education teaches you about the leasing business; training shows you how do to a particular job. CLEO is designed to provide participants with a general education, an overview of each area of a leasing business. CLEO is not an in-depth training program to teach a leasing professional how to do specific functions within a leasing company.
Q. How much do I have to know about leasing to take these sessions?
A. CLEO is an introductory level education program. While some sessions may be more technical than others, a general familiarity with the leasing industry is all that is required.
Q. What is the time commitment?
A. Each session will take approximately four - five hours, including preparatory reading the background material and completing possible exercises, viewing a one to two-hour on-line webcast and taking the post-session test.
Q. What will I receive at the end of a session?
A. Once you have viewed the webcast, you are expected to complete an on-line test. Once graded, CFLA will send you the results for your records and/or to share with your employer.
Q. Can staff sign up as a group and take the session together?
A. No. The program is designed to be delivered to individuals, not groups. Each session includes a post-session test designed to be completed by individuals.
