How you'll learn
Training is 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Advanced Excel, Power BI, Python (pandas), Lightroom Classic, in free, academic or trial versions. Tests are studied using real technical inspection procedures for valuation, analysis of market comparables, and the drafting and defence of a valuation report. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrating project.
