Maintaining the highest professional standards

To ensure that all of our Members are maintaining the highest possible professional standards, we release compulsory modules that must be completed on a prescribed basis.

 

Ethics and Rules Module 2024

The 2024 API Ethics and Rules Module provides Members with the most current information on ethical practice and professional conduct. This training module assists Members in understanding and applying the Rules of Professional Conduct (Rules) and the principles of the API Code of Ethics (Code) to their professional practice. 

All Members (with the exclusion of StudentRetired and Connect Members) will be required to complete an Ethics module before 31 Dec each year to meet their CPD Obligations.

Risk Management Module 2024

Members who undertake valuations of Australian property are required to hold a current RMM Completion Certificate.

International Valuation Standards Training Module 2022 – 2024

Since 2007, the API has adopted International Valuation Standards IVS. All valuing API members are expected to apply these standards in their practice as part of their commitment to best-practice and as a condition of their API membership. 

This training module covers the relevent standards in effect during 2022 – 2024 for the IVS, both technical and ethical, together with case studies and demonstrations to aid learning and adoption of the new practices. 

 

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.
