Reviews
“The course provided me with perfect insight into valuation basics, helping me better understand the methods and serving as a great add-on to my career. In addition, the e-learning format was helpful as it allowed me to allocate time to the training modules according to my busy work schedule. I would definitely recommend this training course.”
“The course offered substantial reading materials and access to iSurv, which was particularly important as it provided important review materials. The structure closely aligned with my expectations, and the facilitator's feedback was very helpful.”
“During my early career as a valuer, I encountered many gaps and areas where I felt less confident, topics I hadn't studied at university. A course like Valuation Foundation would have been invaluable, providing the holistic overview I needed as a stepping stone to building experience and further professional development within a global learning community.”
