Certification Policy

The CREP™ — Certified Real Estate Professional — is a private professional certification issued by RERACertified Academy. It is not a government qualification, UGC-recognized degree, NSDC certification, or statutory RERA agent registration. It does not grant you RERA registration, replace the requirement to register with your state RERA authority, or constitute a legal licence to practice real estate. It is a rigorous professional knowledge credential — valuable, but distinct from government-issued authorizations.

Your state RERA registration is a separate legal requirement under the RERA Act 2016, Section 9. You must complete that registration with your state RERA authority independently of your CREP™ enrollment.

CREP™ — Certified Real Estate Professional — is the flagship credential of RERACertified Academy. It is structured as follows:

3.1 Module Examinations

• Each of the 24 modules has a mandatory module examination
• Minimum pass mark: 70% (e.g., 21/30 or 14/20 depending on module question count)
• Module exam attempts: unlimited within the enrolled module (review and retry encouraged)
• A module must be passed before the next module unlocks

3.2 Final Certification Examination

• 100 questions drawn from all 24 modules
• Duration: 120 minutes
• Minimum pass mark: 75% (75 correct out of 100)
• Free attempts: 2 included with every enrollment
• After 2 free attempts: paid retake available after a defined review period
• The final exam may only be attempted after all module exams are passed

3.3 Question Types

CREP™ examinations include questions across four cognitive levels:

• Knowledge (K): Recall of RERA provisions, definitions, sections, and timelines
• Understanding (U): Explanation and interpretation of RERA rules and their rationale
• Application (A): Applying RERA knowledge to standard professional scenarios
• Judgment (J): Professional decision-making in complex, multi-factor real-world situations

The Final Exam weighting is approximately: K 20% · U 25% · A 35% · J 20%

• Certificates are issued automatically upon passing the final exam
• Digital certificate viewable and shareable immediately from your student dashboard
• PDF download available (requires mPDF — enabled separately)
• Each certificate carries a unique Credential ID in the format: CREP-[STATE]-[YEAR]-[6-DIGIT-NUMBER] (e.g., CREP-HR-2026-000001)
• A QR code on each certificate links directly to the public verification page
• Certificates are stored permanently in our registry and remain verifiable indefinitely

Certificate Face Content

Every CREP™ certificate includes:

• Full name of the certified professional
• CREP™ designation and grade
• State track completed
• Final exam score and grade
• Issue date
• Unique Credential ID
• Verification QR code and URL
• Explicit disclaimer: "Private professional certification issued by RERACertified Academy. Not a government qualification or statutory RERA registration."

All issued CREP™ certificates are publicly verifiable at reracertified.in/verify. Anyone — an employer, developer, client, or RERA authority — can enter a Credential ID or scan a QR code to verify:

• Whether the certificate is genuine and issued by RERACertified Academy
• The holder's name, state track, grade, and issue date
• Whether the certificate is currently Active or has been Revoked

We do not display the holder's contact information (email, phone) on the public verification page.

The integrity of the CREP™ credential depends on all examinations being completed honestly and independently. The following are prohibited:

• Using external notes, books, or websites during an exam (open-book exams will be specifically marked as such where permitted)
• Sharing exam questions, answers, or content with others
• Allowing another person to take your exam or complete your lessons
• Using AI tools, screenshot capture, or screen sharing during examinations
• Attempting to access exam answers through technical means

Consequences of violation: Any confirmed breach of academic integrity results in immediate permanent disqualification, no refund, revocation of any issued certificate, and a permanent bar from future enrollments at RERACertified Academy.

A CREP™ certificate may be revoked by RERACertified Academy in the following circumstances:

• Confirmed academic dishonesty or cheating in any examination
• Proven misrepresentation of the CREP™ credential as a government or statutory certification
• Fraud in the enrollment process (false identity or impersonation)
• Court order or legal requirement

Revoked certificates are marked as "Revoked" on the public verification portal. The credential holder is notified by email with the reason for revocation and may appeal within 14 days by writing to academy@reracertified.in.

RERA regulations and state rules change frequently. RERACertified maintains a "Living Content" approach:

• Every lesson displays its last verified date and content version number
• We review and update content when RERA Act provisions, MoHUA notifications, or state RERA authority rules change
• Enrolled students receive updated content at no additional charge
• We cannot guarantee that content reflects regulatory changes within 24 hours of their announcement — always verify current requirements with your state RERA authority for compliance decisions

CREP™ curriculum is built from authoritative official sources including:

• The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 — Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs
• MoHUA Model Rules and Circulars
• Official state RERA authority portals and published rules (HRERA, MahaRERA, RERA Punjab, UP-RERA, etc.)
• Supreme Court and High Court judgments on RERA matters
• NCDRC and state consumer forum orders on real estate disputes

We do not source content from private interpretation blogs, social media, or unverified third-party sources. Every lesson cites its primary source and last verified date.

Upon earning the CREP™ credential, you may:

• Use the designation "CREP™ — Certified Real Estate Professional" after your name in professional contexts
• Display your credential ID on business cards, LinkedIn, marketing materials, and professional profiles
• Direct employers, clients, or developers to reracertified.in/verify to verify your credential
• State that you are "CREP™ certified by RERACertified Academy"

You may NOT:

• Represent CREP™ as a government qualification, statutory certification, or legal licence
• Claim CREP™ is equivalent to or substitutes for state RERA agent registration
• Use the CREP™ or RERACertified logo without written permission from RERACertified Academy
• Continue using the CREP™ designation after certificate revocation

The current CREP™ certification is issued without an expiry date. We may introduce a renewal or continuing education requirement in future as the platform and credential mature. Any such requirement will be announced with at least 12 months' notice and will not apply retroactively to existing certificate holders without a corresponding benefit (e.g., updated content access).
