Take your pick from among more than 40 Zillow Academy courses that help build strong pipelines full of happy clients.

How Zillow Academy badges work

When you complete a course on Zillow Academy, you’ll be rewarded with a badge, which will show up on your Zillow Academy dashboard — just look for My Badges and Points in your account or the My Badges tile on your Zillow Academy homepage.* Track the badges you complete and revel in the advantage you’re building. There are four main ways to earn badges:

• Completing your first podcast or live course
• Completing the Zillow Fundamentals learning path
• Taking a themed course, such as the Team Leadership Series
• Achieving a milestone. Milestones happen at five, 10, 20, 30, and 40 completed courses.

Each badge also earns you points, which you can track on a leaderboard that displays top earners. See who’s scooping up the most achievements, and then see if you can beat them. The more courses you complete, the higher chance you’ll land yourself at the top of the board for all to see.
