What is CRE Certified?

CRE Certified is the CREx Learning Center — a self-paced learning platform with 15 modules, an AI learning guide, verified credentials, and a talent directory connecting learners to employers.

How is this different from CRE10x (Multiplier)?

CRE Certified is on-demand and self-paced for individual learners. CRE10x is instructor-led, NYU-faculty-taught, and delivered to teams in cohorts.

Are the credentials industry-recognized?

Yes — CRE Certified credentials are designed with institutional CRE hiring in mind. Graduates appear in the CREx talent directory accessible to employer partners.

Can my team access CRE Certified at scale?

Yes — team subscriptions are available with admin reporting, custom learning paths, and SSO.
