If this is your first online CHAM course, enrollment is a two-part process:
- Enroll as a Basic Member of CHAM.* It is free and gives you access to an exclusive catalog of free online classes from HAI Group.
- Set up your HAI Group account. You will automatically be directed to sign up for an HAI Group account and create your profile. You will need your 8-digit CHAM membership number to complete the process. For security reasons, it will take one business day to activate your account. Upon your next log in, you will be directed to the CHAM Member Portal where you will be able to register for the CHAM Asset Management Specialist Certification, and have access to the free courses.
*Please note, you do not need to be a member of CHAM to enroll. You may skip that step and sign up directly with HAI Group without a membership number. However, CHAM membership is required to access the free online courses.
Step 1: CHAM Membership
Step 2: HAI Group Account Set Up
If you already have an HAI Group account, sign in to the HAI Group online training portal. You will be directed to the CHAM page where you can enroll for additional classes.
If you took one of the AMS courses with NeighborWorks (in person at an NTI or online) or through LISC, you will want to get credit for having completed the prerequisite courses toward your AMS. If you do not have an HAI Group account, follow steps 1 and 2 above. When you get to the class enrollment page, you will need to hit “request waiver” so a customer care specialist can check your name against the NeighborWorks and LISC lists of people who have taken the class.
