The KW certificate is one of more than 40 entry-level professional certificates available on Coursera that are designed to help prepare users for the job market. Coursera boasted 142 million users at the end of 2023.

For learners who complete the certification, Keller Successful Career Opportunities in Real Estate (KSCORE) offers to provide scholarships to qualified individuals for their prelicensing education.
