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.

You know how in our lives there are hundreds of little details swirling around... everything from important names and phone numbers to insurance policies, passwords, warranties, you name it. And we keep these details scattered everywhere... on the fridge, in a drawer, in a notebook, in a filing cabinet, in a shoebox, in our heads, on Post-it notes... And it can be such a pain when you need it and can't find it, quickly or otherwise, or can't remember it.

So wouldn't it be great if there was one place where ALL that information could reside, and you could access it anytime? Well, for the first time, there is such a place. And it's called 'My Life Locker.' It's the ultimate life organizational system. One book that contains everything you could possibly need at your fingertips. Imagine the peace-of-mind knowing that you have all your life details in one spot. It's surprising, but there's really nothing like it anywhere.
