Valuation Competency and Professional Risk Management Programme: Defend Every Valuation You Sign

Because a valuation is not just a number — it is a legal and professional responsibility.

In a regulatory environment governed by RICS and IVS standards, it is no longer enough to simply know how to value an asset. Today's valuer must understand the limits of professional responsibility, know when advice constitutes full advice or merely information, grasp the impact of landmark court judgments such as Hart v Large, and manage the margin of error, insurance cover and risk embedded in every RLV, DCF and DRC exercise. The Valuation Competency and Professional Risk Management Programme from COMFORT-CPD Academy is designed to raise your competency from the level of application to the level of professionalism and legal defensibility.

What the programme covers

The programme is built on the "Valuation Competency — Questions & Answers" file covering more than 190 professional questions, and is delivered fully online as self-paced interactive SCORM learning in Arabic. It is structured into four training units totalling 40 training hours, carrying 4 accredited CPD hours with a 75% pass mark:
