120 hours or 60 hours?

We are getting a lot of inquiries on how they can earn the 120 hours of Comprehensive Real Estate Seminar and Training (CRESAT) required by PRC for the upcoming March 2012 Broker's Licensure Examination. 

The answer is: THERE ARE MANY WAYS, and it depends on how you would like your hours credited.

PRC-PRBRES is considerate of those who have actual experience and training in the real estate selling already, that is why in the IRR of the RESA Law, they have stated that "the 120 hours seminar and trainings are satisfied, for purposes of compliance of the respective applications, as follows:

a) 60 hours lecture, classroom, and/or seminar hours on real estate subjects, and/or modules unde a comprehensive real estate seminar and review (CRESAR) , credit units/hours earned in any accredited seminar, convention, lecture of an accredited service provider;

b) 60 hours of on-the-job training, apprenticeship, and/or workshop as certified by i) a registered and licensed real estate broker; ii) a duly licensed and registered real estate developer; iii) accredited service providers for workshops."

 So whether you have past or present real estate work experience or not, you still get to enjoy the same 60-60 crediting hour provision.

To put it in a more "structured" perspective, here is a map to help you understand the 60-60 hour crediting:

Now, the next question is: WHAT IF I JUST TAKE A FULL 120-HOUR PROGRAM?

This is the easiest way possible, BUT more expensive (think doubling up the 60-hour CRES fee). But, for some, getting 120-hours straight lecture is more effective in terms of understanding and memory retention. 

Right now, CES ACADEMY is holding a 3rd batch of 60-HOUR CRES, and will also hold some more batches on October, November, December, until January 2012. But if there is a NEED for us to stretch our schedule to 120 HOURS, then we will certainly think about it.
