CAM: Pre-license

Interested in becoming a Community Association Manager (CAM)? Gold Coast is South Florida’s established leader in CAM Pre-license, exam preparation, and continuing education courses.  Our highly successful CAM program has helped thousands of South Florida students pass their exam and carry the knowledge they acquired into careers as successful Community Association Managers.

Gold Coasts Pre-License course includes:

• Our exclusive copyrighted course manual "Master The CAM-EXAM"
• Two days of exciting and informative classroom instruction
• Numerous "Exam-Type" practice questions and tests
• Free unlimited review for up to one year
• All courses are taught by licensed Community Association Managers and/or attorneys

By nature, Florida is an attractive place for people to purchase/rent properties including condominiums, apartments, and homes where a community association is present.  This opens up many market opportunities for licensed CAM’s to generate substantial income.

The Board of Directors of a community association has the obligation to maintain, manage, and operate the community to serve its residents.  Often, though not required by law, the Board of Directors hires a CAM, who must be licensed by the state, to carry out these tasks.

* Many Real Estate licensees and appraisers are generating additional income by getting their CAM license.
