4. Enrol at Macquarie University

Once your pre-enrolment form is approved, you will be required to undertake a knowledge assessment test. If you achieve 65% on the assessment, CA ANZ will email you a unique link to enrol into the Macquarie University course. 

This 8 week live, online course is $2046 (AUD) incl. GST and $2250 (AUD) incl. GST for non members. The course  attracts 40 CPD hours. 

For information about course modules and assessment, download the course framework documents below. 

If you prefer to undertake the  Portfolio Interview, the cost is A$1100 incl. GST. This option means that the enrollee does not have access to the live online sessions with the other enrollees. They only have access to the learning materials. In addition, they are required to undertake the assessment task alone. This option is only recommended for members with significant experience.

5. Upon completion

When you have successfully completed the course and practical experience requirements, you can apply to CA ANZ for formal recognition as a CA Business Valuation Specialist.
