Reston, VA – December 9, 2020 – Meridian Knowledge Solutions today announced that Northwest Multiple Listing Service (“NWMLS”) has upgraded their Meridian LMS™ and increased the number of learners on the platform, which serves more than 33,000 real estate brokers across 2,500 member offices in Washington state.
Education is a core service for NWMLS, as it supports its growing membership base. NWMLS provides numerous classes and webinars to help real estate professionals utilize the organization’s robust technology products. Many classes also provide clock hours (continuing education credits) for a small fee, as real estate brokers and appraisers are required to renew their licenses every 2 years.
“We provide our membership with the critical knowledge and services they need to help them effectively operate and grow their real estate businesses,” said Tom Hurdelbrink, President and CEO of NWMLS.
“We are now able to offer virtual instructor-led classes for clock hour credit,” said Tara Marino, Director of Communications & Training. “We were previously able to offer self-paced online classes, but this new option allows our membership to virtually interact with their instructor during the course.”
When the spread of COVID-19 curtailed face-to-face activities, NWMLS used the flexibility of Meridian LMS to hold live classes online rather than in-person.
Having recently upgraded their Meridian LMS, NWMLS is now turning their attention toward new ways to improve their members’ learning experience. This includes an ongoing collaboration with the Meridian team to further enhance the platform.
“Meridian LMS empowers member-based organizations to deliver a superior learner experience,” said Paul Terry, Chief Strategy & Operations Officer at Meridian. “We partner with forward-thinking clients, like NWMLS, to increase the types of educational opportunities they provide and maximize the ROI from their learning investments.”
