Programs
CES Academy offers two major courses:
Comprehensive Real Estate Seminar (CRES) and Continuing Professional Education (CPD).
Comprehensive Real Estate Seminar (CRES) and Continuing Professional Education (CPD).
Comprehensive Real Estate Seminar and Training (CRESAT) is a module designed for those who wish to take the broker, appraiser or consultant’s board examination. It is a major prerequisite when applying and registering for an examination permit in the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
The IRR of RA 9646 (Real Estate Service Act) requires that an examinee submits a certification of 120 hours- worth of real estate education through lectures, seminars, workshops and trainings, from PRC-accredited real estate education service providers.
PRC-PRBRES is considerate of those who have actual experience and training in the real estate selling already, so they have stated in the IRR 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 under 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."
