Program Overview

Our Global Education Program


In order to carry out its primary strategic objective of providing globally relevant business valuation education, the IIBV has developed a business valuation curriculum covering core valuation competencies and incorporating specific IFRS examples and cases.

In each course the material is presented by an internationally recognized instructor, over three days, through a combination of lecture and in-class case exercises. The case exercises are intended to provide practical real-life examples of the theoretical material. The student has two resources available during class time: 1) A handout which outlines the materials presented in the lecture; and 2) PowerPoint slides which summarize the outline and provide teaching point references to the lecture.

At the conclusion of the course, a three-hour multiple-choice exam, consisting of 100 questions will enable students to assess their comprehension of the material. Successfully passing the exam enables the student to receive a credit towards comparable ASA and CICBV courses in order to work towards completion of the business valuation designation offered by the ASA and CICBV.

These courses have been developed for the international market by a committee of senior global business valuators and educators and comprise the iiBV’s Principles of Valuation offerings.
