Certified Reserve Planner (CRP)
The Certified Reserve Planner designation is for professionals involved in reserve fund planning, capital replacement forecasting, and long term financial modelling for buildings. CRPs often work with condominium boards, asset managers, engineering firms, and large property portfolios.
Certified Residential Underwriter (CRU)
The Certified Residential Underwriter designation is designed for people who assess and underwrite real estate investments. This is ideal for lending professionals, investment analysts, financial institutions, and anyone responsible for evaluating the viability and risk profile of real estate projects.
Certified In Real Estate Finance (CRF)
The Certified in Real Estate Finance designation is built for professionals who manage the financial performance of properties and portfolios. This program is well suited to asset managers, REIT analysts, property managers, and finance leaders in the real estate sector.
The UBC Real Estate Division may recognize transfer credits from courses that are essentially similar to other courses for which you have previously received post-secondary credit. As a general rule, courses completed more than 10 years ago are ineligible for transfer credits or exemptions. More information on course equivalencies can be found here.
The CRP, CRU, and CRF programs share many of the same UBC core courses – if you’ve successfully earned one designation, you may only need to take a few additional courses to fulfill the educational requirements for other REIC designations:
| Designation completed | Required courses to stack CRP | Required courses to stack CRF | Required courses to stack CRU |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRP | BUSI 330, BUSI 331 | BUSI 330, BUSI 331 | |
| CRF | CPD 130, CPD 131, CPD 133, BUSI 400, BUSI 401, CPD 891, CPD 899 | CPD 130, CPD 131 | |
| CRU | CPD 133, BUSI 400, BUSI 401, CPD 891, CPD 899 | No additional courses needed |
Please note that in addition to the courses offered by the UBC Real Estate Division, the REIC has additional requirements for each designation. Please visit the REIC website to learn more.
Some of the courses completed in the educational programming for REIC’s CRP, CRU, and CRF programs overlap with courses offered in the UBC Real Estate Division’s other educational programming, including the Diploma in Urban Land Economics (DULE), the Appraisal Institute of Canada’s (AIC) education programs, the Certificate Program in Real Property Assessment (CPRPA), the Bachelor of Business in Real Estate Degree (BBRE), and the Reserve Fund Planning Program (RFPP).
