How it works
- Select the course that best fits your organization's existing resources and educational needs.
- Identify preferred dates to offer the course.
- Download the Licensing Request Form and remit to the Director of Professional Development at kcarey@crb.com or by fax at 312-329-8882. We will send you a detailed Licensing Agreement and Licensing Handbook once the Request Form is received.
- A non-refundable deposit of $750 is paid to the Council with the signed Licensing Agreement. This amount will be applied as a credit against the amount due by the Licensee at the conclusion of the course.
- The Sample Statement provided makes certain assumptions regarding your profitability. A minimum number of paid registrations is required to ensure an appropriate learning environment and to eliminate any financial risk on the part of the program licensee and the Council.

Important note: You do not have to remit the License or Royalty Fees in advance of the Course. The Council will issue an invoice for the License and Royalty Fees at the conclusion of the program.
Establishing registration fees
The Licensee has the flexibility to determine registration fees for the Course. The Licensee is strongly encouraged to review the provided sample statement (see above) to factor its planned expense and revenue goals when determining registration fees. The Council uses the referenced registration fee schedule in its direct delivery offerings and recommends similar pricing by the Purchaser to ensure profitability levels.
CRB Candidates/Non-Members of the Council - $550

I was thrilled with the coursework and began implementing ideas immediately! I was so devoted that I became a CRB instructor in 1989. The resources, networking opportunities, and coursework applications have made the CRB Council my SOURCE.
