VIRTUAL LEARNING STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Caroline Foulk
2020 Full Designation Scholar
Property Associate at JLL
I switched to virtual learning half-way through my second RPA course. The virtual classes allow me to focus on course content and discussion rather than social distancing. In the online portal, I am able to take advantage of great resources, such as practice exams, class slides and more. I love learning from my home environment and feel I am getting all of the same knowledge and insight as I did in live classes. Through the chat and video functions, I can still connect personally with my instructors and fellow classmates. Networking is not dead in the virtual age!

Greg Boos
Property Manager at AmTrust Realty Corp
With COVID changing how we all live and learn, BOMA/Chicago has made every effort to stay ahead of the curve. When we transitioned to e-learning from classroom learning, I was hesitant because I learn best in-person. But I came to see that the online setting is still a great format to continue my RPA studies. Our instructors have made classes educational and interactive and students are able to ask questions in real time. Just like an in-person class, you are able to hear from other classmates and instructors about their experiences. I was truly impressed with how smooth the classes went, and I feel like I learned just as much as I would in-person. I am looking forward to my next RPA class!

Property Administrator at Sterling Bay
As times are constantly changing, BOMA/Chicago has transitioned to virtual classes where students like myself are able to still engage with the instructor in a “live” setting, including engaging with other students as well. My Leasing & Marketing instructor, Charlie Moriarty, was still available to answer all my questions and further explain key concepts or provide examples for better understanding. I was able to learn so much from other students in my class and listen to their experiences with their properties. Having that still available in a virtual setting was very helpful in my learning!
