---- Our model ----
1. Aligned participants:
FastTrack isn't for everyone. It's hard. It's also not a career discovery course. It is built for dedicated professionals who need high-impact skills training. No dabbling. Every student and member of the teaching team signs a pledge before each course promising to engage fully in the content.
2. No grades, no certifications:
We deliberately avoid certifications. Everyone involved believes that commercial real estate skills and fundamentals are valuable in and of themselves.
3. More than lectures:
Traditional courses revolve around lecturers who share knowledge with students, who then affirm information on quizzes and exams.
4. Curration > teaching:
Skills are learned, not taught. Our program is about getting the right people in the room, arming them with key industry frameworks, then putting them into real-world situations to solve on-the-job problems.
5. Large teaching team:
We have a 25+ person teaching team of active real estate professionals.
6. Taught by practitioners:
Every member of our teaching team uses the FastTrack frameworks and fundamentals in their day jobs.
7. Professional development:
Our teaching team is overseen by two practitioners with decades of deal experience, a Real Estate Finance PhD with 20+ years of academic experience, and a Harvard-educated instructional coach.
8. Miminal marketing costs:
To keep tuition as low as possible and fully invested in student outcomes, we don't pay for marketing. 100% of our alumni found us through former students, their employers, and/or LinkedIn.
Ps - If this all sounds interesting to you or if you know someone who might be a good fit for FastTrack, our next cohort kicks off next week.
