Sales Comparison Approach and Basic Appraisal Models – MTS-102

How much is a five-year-old excavator really worth? What about a delivery fleet of ninety similar vans, or a corporate aircraft with unusual operating hours? Questions like these are answered every day by machinery and equipment valuers using the Sales Comparison Approach — SCA, and MTS-102 from COMFORT-CPD Academy is the practical course that teaches you to apply it with professional discipline.

What the course covers

MTS-102 takes the Sales Comparison Approach from its theoretical foundations to real-world application. Across six modules you learn to select appropriate comparables and analyse the market, execute comps adjustments with defensible professional logic, and quantify how age, condition and usage — operating hours or mileage — as well as transport and installation costs affect value. The course then introduces basic appraisal modelling: the technique valuers use to price large groups of similar assets such as vehicle fleets, contractor equipment packages and machinery portfolios.

• Module 1 – Foundations of the SCA: principles, when to use it, data quality and market verification
• Module 2 – Selecting comparables and market analysis: reading the market and framing a value range
• Module 3 – Adjustment techniques: age, condition, usage, transport and installation, with audit-ready documentation
• Module 4 – Basic appraisal models: grouping and classification logic for large similar-asset populations
• Module 5 – Applications by asset type: machinery and equipment, vehicles and fleets, plus an applied introduction to aircraft
• Module 6 – Reporting and credibility: reconciling results, drafting conclusions and avoiding common errors

The programme closes with a final assessment of multiple-choice questions plus a short case study. Excel is recommended for the applied exercises but is not mandatory, and there are no compulsory prerequisites — general familiarity with valuation principles is helpful.

Who it is for

The course is built for valuers and appraisers, accountants and auditors, bankers and credit officers, engineers, leasing company professionals, auctioneers and liquidators, forensic and expert-witness consultants, and asset officers in corporates and government entities. If your work touches the value of machinery, vehicles or equipment portfolios, MTS-102 gives you a method you can defend in front of banks, auditors and government stakeholders.

Professional value

MTS-102 carries 32.4 CPD hours including assessment time, at Fundamental level. On passing the final assessment you receive a Certificate of Completion together with a CPD statement — evidence of structured professional development you can present to employers, clients and professional bodies. Beyond the certificate, the course strengthens the single most valuable skill in market-based valuation: documenting adjustment logic so your value conclusion survives scrutiny. The included materials — lecture PDFs, Excel templates for the applications and an MCQ question bank — stay with you as working tools long after the course ends.
