The pathway
Apply
Submit the online application with your legal name, ABN and contracting entity, and your VRBQ Registration Number. Pay the $1 enrolment fee.
Verification
Our compliance team checks your details against the public VRBQ register, usually within two business days.
Training
Work through the four modules at your own pace, then sit the 20-question competency assessment (pass mark 80%).
Certification
Your Certification Number and digital certificate are issued automatically once you have passed and been verified.
Terminology. AIQV issues a Certification Number (also called a Member Number). It is not a licence. On AIQV reports your credentials appear as “Registered Valuer (QLD) – VRBQ Registration No. [XXXX]” and “Certified Quantitative Valuer (AIQV)”.
