Competency assessment

After completing all four modules you sit a 20-question assessment covering every module. The pass mark is 80%. You may make up to three attempts in any 24-hour period.

Continuing professional development

Certified valuers complete at least 3 hours of AIQV CPD each year focused on quantitative and AI-assisted valuation practice, platform updates and ATO developments. See the CPD Policy.
