The Post-Graduate Certificate in Real Property Valuation program (PGCV) has been developed by a partnership between the UBC Real Estate Division and the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC). The PGCV program is primarily intended to be a bridging program for graduates of business schools across Canada, offering these graduates a clear career development path and encouraging them to join the real property valuation profession.
This program is aimed at graduates of business schools across Canada, intending to enrich the students' general business knowledge with skills and abilities specific to real property valuation. AIC will recognize graduates of this program as having met all of the educational requirements for its most senior designation, the AACI. After having completed this program, AACI candidates will need only complete the Guided Case Study (BUSI 499), the Standards Seminar, and the Applied Experience program in order to obtain AACI accreditation.

| The following core courses are required in the PGCV program: |
| • BUSI | 330 | Foundations of Real Estate Appraisal |
| • BUSI | 331 | Real Estate Investment Analysis and Advanced Income Appraisal |
| • BUSI | 442 | Case Studies in Appraisal I |
| • BUSI | 452 | Case Studies in Appraisal II |
In addition to the 4 core courses, 2 of the following elective courses are required: |
| • BUSI | 300 | Urban & Real Estate Economics |
| • BUSI | 401 | Commercial Property Analysis |
| • BUSI | 443 | Real Property Assessment |
| • BUSI | 444 | Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal |
| • BUSI | 470 | Forecasting (3 credits) (under development) |
These courses are senior level undergraduate level courses, focusing on real estate and urban economics, an established research area within the Sauder School of Business. The four required courses provide students with a solid foundation in real property valuation principles, as well as an understanding of how these principles are applied in a practical setting. The two elective courses provide an opportunity for students to broaden their valuation education, exploring areas of interest that may eventually lead to specializations in their professional career. The elective courses have been specifically chosen to broaden students' awareness of career opportunities beyond traditional valuation, in order to diversify their professional capabilities.
