About
The Academy of CRE Innovation & Finance is operated by private equity firm Thirty Capital and is the brainchild of successful commercial real estate entrepreneur and innovator Robert Finlay. The Academy serves as an online educational platform designed to provide new CRE analysts with timely and comprehensive skills they need to succeed in the quickly changing job market.
We’re Closing The Gap
There is a growing gap between the knowledge base delivered in classrooms around the country and the skills that CRE professionals need to be successful and employable in the CRE ecosystem.
Practical Education for CRE
We built The Academy to serve our own need for skill-building across our real estate organization. We also offer these certification courses and access to our course library exclusively to our partners for their own continued training and upskill needs.
Pragmatic Skills
The Academy offers certification courses for CRE professionals in a fully digital learning environment. The on-demand and live facilitated course modalities feature expert executives in the CRE industry and deliver relevant and pragmatic skill-building experiences.
“Capital markets and the use of data analytics are changing at an incredible pace. It’s imperative we train practitioners at the intersection of these hyper-technical skills. The Academy exists to do just that.”
