NAV Global Academy · Practical Training for Agents, Builders & Business Owners
Most training gets watched. This gets used.
Courses in AI, real estate, and business growth, each built to leave you with something that works.
Watching a video is not the same as being able to do the thing. NAV Global Academy is where NAV Global’s training lives: courses adapted from Chris Nolan’s live classes, workshops, and masterclasses, built around exercises and knowledge checks, with the bigger programs ending in assets you keep: a workflow, a template, a 30-day roadmap.
Self-paced courses and live programs, with open enrollment.
Credibility Snapshot
Built by someone who learned training where failure was not an option.
Fifteen years in the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Capitol Police, then 36,000+ hours of field execution building and running sales operations. Chris Nolan is the architect of the START™ and GRO2™ frameworks, a multiple ICON and Chairman’s Award winner, host of The Nolan Show, and a board member of Let the Heroes Know.
In the military, nobody hopes the new person picks it up. They are trained, drilled, and signed off. Your business deserves the same standard.
The Problem
Nobody plans to learn by trial and error. It just happens.
The new agent figures it out from whoever has time to answer a question. The business owner signs up for five AI tools and uses one of them like a search bar. The builder keeps building great homes and keeps losing ground to bigger builders with better systems, better marketing, and better technology.
Months go by, and no one can say whether the problem is effort, or that nobody ever showed them how. And the training that does happen rarely sticks.
Of what salespeople learn in a training session is forgotten within a month without reinforcement.

What the Academy Is
Practical courses, built from live trainings, for people who have to use what they learn.
NAV Global Academy brings NAV Global’s training into one place. The courses are adapted from live classes, workshops, and masterclasses delivered to agents, builders, and business owners, and rebuilt so you can work through them on your own schedule.
It is not a video library. Each course is a sequence of short lessons with exercises and knowledge checks, so you finish having done the work, not just watched it.
Why the Academy Works
Built to be done, not watched
Built to be done, not watched
Lessons are built around an exercise and a knowledge check. The longer programs end with something you keep using: a prompt chain, a workflow template, a 30-day roadmap.
Taught from the field
Every course comes from a live training delivered to working professionals. The real estate classes are taught by Chris Nolan himself, Founder and Associate Broker of The Nolan Group.
No technical background required
The AI courses start in plain language and build from there. Beginners start with AI 101. Anyone ready to implement goes straight into the 6-Week AI Sprint.
One path, not a pile of courses
The courses connect. AI 101 leads into the 6-Week AI Sprint. The real estate classes cover both sides of a first transaction: the newly licensed agent and the first-time buyer.
The Courses
Three tracks. One standard.
Every course in the Academy is open for enrollment now.
AI Training
For business owners, real estate professionals, and teams who want AI to save time and bring in leads, not add more tools.

How It Works
From first lesson to what you keep
Pick your starting point
New to AI? Start with AI 101. Newly licensed? Start with Your First 90 Days. Running a building business? Start with the Builder Growth System.
Learn in short lessons
Self-paced courses break each training into short lessons you can fit around the rest of your day. Live programs add scheduled sessions and Q&A.
Do the work as you go
Exercises and knowledge checks keep every lesson tied to your own business, not a hypothetical one.
Keep what you build
Leave with the templates, workflows, roadmaps, and goals you built along the way, and keep using them after the course is done.
The Belief Behind the Work
Most people do not have an effort problem.
They are capable people doing their best without a system anyone ever showed them. The agent who looks unprepared in month one, the owner who looks behind on AI, the builder who looks outmatched by the big firms: almost always, nobody handed them the playbook.
Write it down. Teach it. Check it. Almost everything that gets called a motivation problem turns out to be a training problem wearing a different jacket.
About Chris Nolan
Fifteen years of zero-error work, applied to how people learn.
Chris Nolan spent fifteen years in the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Capitol Police, where every standard was written, drilled, and checked, because there was no version of the day where improvising was acceptable.
He carried that discipline into sales, built the START™ and GRO2™ frameworks across 36,000+ hours of field execution and more than a thousand closed transactions, and earned multiple ICON and Chairman’s Awards along the way. Today he is Founder and Associate Broker of The Nolan Group, and NAV Global Academy is where his training is open to anyone ready to put it to work.
Start Here
Not sure where to begin? Start with AI 101.
The foundational course: what AI is in plain language, the five categories every AI tool fits into, and the one skill that makes them all work. You leave with a framework, real examples, and one workflow to test this week. When you are ready to implement, the 6-Week AI Sprint picks up where it ends.
Your competitors are learning by accident. That is the whole opportunity.
Most people will keep piecing it together from videos, trial and error, and whoever has time to answer a question. The gap that leaves is not small, and closing it starts with one course.
