Education/Training/Events
CRTS Canada

Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist (CRTS) is the first, oldest and only senior move management "certification" program in Canada and the USA.

Although every professional industry group (organizers, stagers, realtors, movers, auctioneers, care providers, etc) has "industry specific" educational programs for working with seniors, CRTS is the only program that banners all of the providers together with a common educational thread and standard of practice.

The CRTS designation formally organizes the senior move management vocation into a straightforward and definable consumer category - comparable to the recognition of a franchised brand, without all of the fees.

CRTS Canada is an executive level business preparation and enhancement program designed to build profitable, meaningful and lasting businesses, combined with a qualified international referral network.

The designation is offered 4 times per year in a classroom setting and is available as a 20 hour video home study course.
