Recognizing the evolving needs of the real estate sector and the importance of equipping industry leaders with the knowledge and skills to navigate its complexities, CEPT University signed a MoU with the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (CREDAI) to launch a unique Professional Certificate Program for real estate developers recently.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister of Gujarat Bhupendra Patel, and the Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, at the 19th GIHED Property Show organized by CREDAI Ahmedabad.
CEPT faculty members, Dr. Subhrangsu Goswami, Head of CEPT Professional Programs (CPP) and Prof. Samir Shah, Dean (CEPT Foundation Program) joined Patel on stage along with their CREDAI partners Mr. Shekhar Patel, President of CREDAI India; Mr. Boman Irani, Chairman of CREDAI India, Mr. Dhruv Patel, President of CREDAI Gujarat, and Mr. Ashish Patel, Joint Secretary, CREDAI for the MoU signing.
CEPT Professional Programs (CPP) aims to bridge the gap between academics, practice, policy-making, and implementation through short certificate programs. The mission of CPP is to support individual and organizational learning by creating opportunities to acquire new skills and capabilities, thus allowing professionals to stay relevant in the current knowledge-based global context. It achieves this by offering professional development, continuing education, and up-skilling opportunities for professionals and in-service persons across disciplines concerned with urban development and the built habitat. CPP draws from the expertise and capacity of the accomplished faculty at CEPT University, which is enhanced further by experts and practitioners from the field. Its programs are built on deep research, vast consultancy projects, and innovative pedagogies. CPP offers a repertoire of short programs and topic-focused programs across disciplines of architecture, design, planning, and management with immersive learning approaches combining interactive lectures, case studies, and peer-to-peer exchanges.
Delivered through CPP – a CEPT initiative that offers industry-ready training programs for working professionals – this certificate program is designed to provide professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the modern real estate landscape.
Programme features
Open to all CREDAI members, the program will address a critical gap in professional development for real estate developers. By incorporating planning, designing, construction engineering, legal, regulatory, and financial aspects, the program will provide a holistic understanding of the industry’s changing dynamics.
To be delivered in a hybrid format over 3-4 months, the program will include immersive on-campus modules at CEPT University. Participants will engage with renowned faculty, industry experts, and fellow professionals, fostering valuable networking opportunities.
Dr Subhrangsu Goswami, Head, CPP, said, “The real estate industry is undergoing significant transformation, demanding a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce. This program is not just about providing theoretical knowledge; it’s about enriching the foundation of the industry from the ground up. By equipping professionals with the latest insights and best practices, we empower them to deliver projects of higher quality and drive sustainable growth within the sector. With CREDAI as our partner, we are confident that real estate developers across the country will make the most of this opportunity.”
This partnership is a testament to CEPT’s commitment to fostering professional development and empowering the next generation of real estate leaders. In this
partnership, CEPT University will curate and offer the program and CREDAI will extend this program to its expansive network of over 25,000 real estate professionals across India.
