The wwRED course was developed due to a high demand for objective technology education. MLSs wanted a way to bring their staff and vendors up to speed quickly on industry data topics. Brokers and vendors wanted a way to show their data partners that they understood the rules of the road. Startup organizations needed a way to quickly learn the intricacies of the real estate data space to streamline their ability to scale across markets.

The course provides 40 short segments of real estate learning sessions, explainer videos, quizzes and downloadable material. The time necessary to complete the course will be dependent upon the student’s experience, but any industry participant can pass this course.

Working at your own pace and on your own schedule, the focus is on learning and retaining this valuable information to enhance your career opportunities. A student with heavy industry data experience might spend a couple of hours working through the content. A student with less industry data experience might break the learning sessions up over a week or two.
