Virginia REALTOR® Institute
The Virginia REALTOR® Institute program curriculum consists of 10 courses that each student must complete successfully in order to earn the Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation. Eight classes are hosted by local associations across the state, and two classes are available online at any time. Online courses are available for immediate enrollment.
Students working towards the GRI designation have the additional benefit of obtaining continuing education and/or post-license credit through their coursework. The course curriculum contains over 40 hours of continuing education credits and 30 hours of post-license (PL) credits. That adds up to a great value… first-year REALTORS® can complete their PL requirements and earn a designation at the same time.
