SMU Academy selected to deliver IVAS’ valuer programme

It will launch in Singaporein January 2026.

The Institute of Valuers and Appraisers Singapore has appointed SMU Academy to administer the Chartered Valuer and Appraiser (CVA) Programme across Singapore, Jakarta, and Bangkok.

The CVA Programme provides a development pathway for professionals in valuation-related fields, including accounting, finance, law, and economics.

Supported by SMU’s Overseas Centres in Jakarta and Bangkok, the Programme will offer two intakes each year, with a planned launch in Singapore in January 2026, and Indonesia and Thailand in July 2026.

A new hybrid format will also be introduced, comprising a combination of weekday evening classes and in-person weekend sessions.

Upon completion, participants will be conferred the Associate CVA designation. To proceed to the CVA designation, they must meet the work experience requirements and apply to IVAS.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
