02. What happens after I complete the certification or licensure?
You will have a House Manager Training Certificate and a badge for your website or other documents to show you are a trained and certified house manager.

We do not guarantee any job placements. If you are a Licensed Village Assist House Manager, you will create a profile on our House Manager Finder board after your application is approved. Clients will then have the opportunity to find you.
If you just complete our House Manager Certification and Training, you can start running your own House Manager business in your area and/or join our Board.
