What is the Chartered Real Estate Professional (CREP®)?

Here’s the opportunity. A huge share of Indian wealth sits in real estate, yet most people advising on it have never been formally trained in valuation, law or due diligence. Clients and firms want someone they can trust with big property decisions — and there just aren’t many. That’s your way in.

That’s where the Chartered Real Estate Professional® comes in. It takes you through the whole picture — how real estate works, the legal side, how to value a property properly, and the practical side of getting a deal done right — so you can advise with real authority, not just close a sale.

And it fits your life. It’s online and built to finish in about six months, so you can study around a job — and it’s a globally recognised AAFM® credential, so it carries weight wherever you work.

Real estate is one of India’s largest asset classes — yet trained, credentialed advisors remain scarce.— AAFM India, CREP® Program

CREP® Course — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Chartered Real Estate Professional (CREP®) certification?+
CREP® is AAFM’s globally recognised real-estate designation. It trains you in how real estate actually works — the legal side, how to value a property properly, and the practical side of getting a deal done right — so you can advise on real-estate decisions with real authority, not just sell.
Who can do the CREP® — am I eligible?+
It is open to graduates and to professionals already in or around real estate — agents, consultants, developers, sales professionals, wealth advisors and home-loan agents. It is an intermediate-level programme, so no advanced prior study is required.
How long does it take and is it online?+
The CREP® is delivered online and is built to finish in around six months at about 6–7 hours a week, so you can study around a job, with e-learning and an online LMS.
What does the CREP® curriculum cover?+
Five modules: Introduction to Real Estate; Legalities of Real Estate; Real Estate Valuation & Analysis; Practical Aspects of Real Estate; and Advanced Real Estate Practices — taking you from fundamentals to confident, professional practice.
How is the CREP® exam structured?+
The exam runs 115 minutes with 80 questions across sections A, B and C, for 170 marks. You need 50% to pass.
What does the CREP® cost?+
The programme is ₹17,700 inclusive of taxes and study material. Any exam or certification fees that apply separately can be confirmed by an advisor.
Is the CREP® recognised internationally?+
Yes — it is an AAFM designation, backed by AAFM’s global recognition across 151+ countries and its ISO 29990 certification and AACSB/ACBSP recognition.
What careers and salary can I expect?+
CREP® holders work as real-estate advisors and consultants, valuation analysts, and mortgage or home-loan advisors, and support developer and investment teams. Indicative pay ranges from about ₹3 LPA to ₹12 LPA depending on role, employer and experience, with strong upside in advisory and commissions.
Will the CREP® help me advise wealth clients on property?+
Yes. Real estate is a major part of most Indian portfolios, so wealth managers and financial advisors use the CREP® to advise clients on property with the same rigour they apply to other assets — valuation, legal checks and due diligence.
How is the CREP® different from a normal real-estate agent course?+
Agent courses focus on selling. The CREP® goes deeper into valuation, law and due diligence, so you can advise on whether a deal makes sense — which is what clients and firms increasingly want and pay for.
What study resources are included?+
E-study material, online LMS access, and practice and assessment support to prepare you for the exam and for real practice.
