Real-Estate Apprenticeship Program MRAP
MRAP is an 18-month, VA-approved training pathway for transitioning service members,
veterans, and military dependents. The only real estate apprenticeship in the nation
that lets eligible participants draw a Monthly Housing Allowance while they learn the business.
Five programs, one standard. MCA is the foundation — AMCA and MMCA build on it in order. MAP and MRAP are separate ways into the network.

— The Funded Entry
Income while you train, not after.
Most career changes into real estate ask you to go without income for the first year. MRAP does not. It is a VA-approved apprenticeship, which means eligible participants receive a Monthly Housing Allowance through the GI Bill while completing hands-on training under top MORE agents.
Whether you are transitioning from active duty, recently separated, or a dependent building a future, MRAP offers structured training, income support, and a direct route into the MORE certification system using education benefits you have already earned.
Train under AMCA and MMCA agents
Proven leaders who understand both the real estate business and the military community you will be serving.
Learn the whole business
Structured exposure across the full transaction lifecycle, from lead generation through closing.
Work while you learn

— What It Enables
What the apprenticeship does for you.
