Risk Management Module 2023

In 2003, API released our first Risk Management Module as a collective way to manage professional risk and ensure access to Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance.

All API Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) and Residential Property Valuer (RPV) Members must hold a current RMM Certificate and complete an updated module annually.

 

International Valuation Standards Training Module

The API adopted the IVS in full in 2007 and API valuer Members have a mandatory compliance requirement in relation to the standards.

To ensure that our Members are meeting their compliance obligations and have fully absorbed the requirements of any changes to the standards, we release a mandatory training module whenever there are any updates to the standards.

 

Residential Valuation Standing Instructions V4

All API Members who undertake residential mortgage valuations using the PropertyPRO report format must complete the Residential Valuation Standing Instructions Training Module. The Residential Valuation Industry Group periodically releases updates to the Standing Instructions and in response, the API develops and releases a new version of the module, which must be completed by our residential valuer Members.
