The Business Certified Appraiser (BCA) certification program provides a hands-on learning experience to help candidates prepare for and obtain the Business Certified Appraiser (BCA) designation. The path to obtaining the BCA designation involves completing two self-study courses—Valuation Essentials and Advanced Valuation Techniques—passing the proctored BCA exam, and submitting a written demonstration report for peer review.
The Valuation Essentials course is designed to introduce business valuation concepts and methodologies. Topics covered are geared toward 100% ownership interests in closely held businesses. The Advanced Valuation Techniques course covers in-depth issues relating to minority interest valuation assignments in family-owned businesses (over $5 million). Upon completing this program, you will be able to:
- Identify and apply business valuation terminology, concepts, and methodologies
- Read and interpret financial statements
- Normalize financial information
- Identify earning streams
- Develop rates of return
- Calculate and apply ratios
- Apply discounts and premiums
- Understand the market approach to value and reconciliation
Live classes are held on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. EST. The cost of your exam is included with your registration.
You will have one year of access to the course materials.
