AHCA/NCAL members can build their understanding of capital through the National Investment Center for Senior Housing & Care (NIC) Academy– the nation’s leading expert in senior care and nursing facility funding and investment. Built by industry experts, NIC Academy programs deliver practical, real-world education that is immediately applicable and strengthens the ability of owners and operators to communicate effectively with investors and navigate complex financial decisions.

CSHIP is a fully online, self-paced program that helps owners and operators understand how investors and lenders evaluate their business, communicate with capital partners, and make more informed operational and strategic decisions — teaching the language of capital so providers can better position themselves to secure funding and execute transactions.

Available at two levels — Level I (Fundamentals) and Level II (Intermediate) — the programs serve everyone from those building foundational knowledge to seasoned professionals looking to advance their expertise.

NIC Academy Boot Camps  are intensive, practitioner-focused training programs designed to build sector-specific knowledge in senior housing and care market analysis, deal assessment, and emerging opportunities. The boot camps are ideal for assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care owners, operators, and administrators looking to strengthen their business and financial acumen. 

The 2026 in-person Senior Housing Boot Camp will be held Tuesday, October 20 in Chicago.
