Welcome to our eLearning Platform, offering a range of CoStar Group Training and Services

The Academic Engagement team was established in 2011 with a mission to support education and professional development across the hospitality industry. In 2012, we launched our first student-focused certification—the Certification in Hotel Industry Analytics (CHIA)—in collaboration with STR, AHLEI, and ICHRIE. Originally designed for hospitality students, the CHIA program has since expanded to serve industry professionals as well.
After integrating into CoStar Group in 2019, our scope broadened to also include business, real estate, and other university programs that benefit from access to CoStar. Recognizing the need for a more scalable and flexible solution, we developed a centralized platform that now hosts multiple certification programs and supports the onboarding process for academic institutions using CoStar for research and in the classroom.
We deeply value our partnerships with both academia and industry. Having collaborated with hundreds of universities and organizations across more than 75 countries, we remain committed to advancing education and professional development through globally relevant programs.
We appreciate eLearning Partners for their partnership in building this platform.
