ARDA’s seminar offers concise education tailored to meet the needs of suppliers of both goods and services to the timeshare industry. The course addresses the basics of the industry and timeshare-specific terms, as well as
the characteristics of timeshare buyers, trends and legal issues. An in-depth look at the timeshare project lifecycle, reserve funding and refurbishment schedules are included.

Several group activities encourage participation and enforce the discussion topics. According to the ARDA web site, (www.arda.org), participants come away with a better understanding of the nuances of the industry as well as a solid grasp of the vocabulary to promote effective communication with industry leaders.

All attendees who successfully complete the course and pass the subsequent test are awarded a certificate of completion.
