Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Courses and Credits

UBC offers AIC members three avenues to achieve credits towards AIC’s Continuing Professional Development Program

• Completion of BUSI courses provides students with a maximum of 12 CPD credits per course.
• UBC’s CPD courses offer AIC “guaranteed credits” with a range of valuation related topics.
• UBC’s webinars provide live online instructions on topics of interest to AIC members; normally offered in November and December only.

Following the recent update to the International Valuation Standards (IVS), the IVSC’s Standards Review Board – the group that oversees all technical updates to the standards – would like to invite you and your colleagues/members to a free webinar from 14:00-15:00 (BST) on Tuesday 24 August to learn more about the key changes.

The webinar will cover the changes to the IVS ‘General’ and ‘Asset-specific’ standards.  This is an opportunity for you to hear first-hand from the technical experts that have led the work about the specific updates and the rationale for those changes.

The webinar will include short presentations followed by an open Q&A when you will be able to ask questions to the members of the Standards Review Board.

Places are limited but we would like to extend the opportunity to representatives of all IVSC member organisations, as well as your own staff teams and/or professional members.  Therefore, please feel free to circulate the details internally.
