WELCOME TO THE EDUCATION HUB
Forty years ago, TABB organized with the mission to educate and promote its members to become successful professionals to better serve the public. Our organization now includes members of many peripheral services such as bankers, accountants, tax professionals, exit planners, attorneys, financial planners, real estate, and other kindred professionals.
This year we have expanded the accessibility and delivery of TABB’s business broker courses throughout Texas.
There are many advantages to participating in our classes:
- To jump-start a new career, achieve personal enhancement and/or to stay updated.
- All TABB’s instructors have established working professionals as illustrated in the instructor bios. View instructor bios here.
- The specific TABB Board Certified Broker (BCB) designation courses are scheduled from February through July with the possibility of repeating sessions later in the year.
- Courses that provide TABB and/or TREC credit courses are monitored or proctored.
- All courses are presented via live Zoom sessions, courtesy of the Houston Association of Realtors
