Very interactive and I learned a lot.
Great company that helps students break into CRE.
I got to learn about market cap, income approach, and comps analysis.
Very interactive and informative class.
Project Destined is an amazing program.
After attending the second session, I am more confident in my abilities in Commercial Real Estate. Thanks to Cedric's energetic and friendly personality, I was able to stay awake during the entire meeting despite it being so early in the morning! I appreciated the pace the session had, since I have a learning disability, and Cedric's ability to simplify topics made it a whole lot easier for me. I'm looking forward to the next session!
This is one of the most enjoyable learning experiences ive had!
Cedric is very understanding and accommodating to everyone at every skillset. He's always ready to answer every question and is patient to those who don't know as much as others.
The Project Destined: CRE II Fundamentals, Valuation program is a fantastic resource for building expertise in commercial real estate valuation. Its practical insights make it ideal for those looking to strengthen their skills in deal evaluation. Highly recommended!
The session was very interactive and informative.
I really enjoy the lecture and the activity designed to test and try out the content we have learned. My only caveat would be after completing CRE Level 1, I didn't automatically receive an email to join CRE Level 2 and in the future that would be helpful.
Great Program, learned a lot and very efficient
Great to meet people from all over the globe. The way the content is presented it makes it easy to digest the information.
Cedric is very interactive, and answers all questions. He also motivates students with phrases like "when you are working at Carlyle, Blackstone, or KKR" which can be transformative on a students perspective.
