La Paz, BCS, Mexico - Since being founded a few short years ago, CCIE, the Training and Statistics arm of AMPI (the Mexican Association or Real Estate Professionals) has developed a myriad of courses.

The newest course is called, "Real Estate in Mexico from A to Z." It was originally developed as a course sponsored by the U.S. National Association of Realtors (NAR) and titled "Doing Business in Mexico." It was first presented for the first time at AMPI’s National Conference in 2006.

Linda Neil of AMPI Los Cabos and her team have updated the NAR course to include changes in the Mexican law and current statistics. The new course will be presented for the first time by Linda Neil PIC (Mexico) ABR, CIPS, TRC; and Mercy Duenas, of Guadalajara, at the upcoming AMPI Congreso in Guadalajara in October.

Commenting on the progress at CCIE, Director Carla Izurieta said, "We have come a long way in developing courses with the objective of raising the level of knowledge and professionalism among our members. At the moment many course are only available at AMPI Headquarters, and in Spanish. We are working to have courses online and in English."

AMPI members who join NAR and become International Realtors also have access to the training and courses offered by NAR’s Real Estate University.
