The University of Calgary Haskayne School of Business has partnered with the Chartered Business Valuators Institute to offer a Chartered Business Valuator (CBV) course this winter. The course will introduce Bachelor of Commerce students to the skills required for a career in business valuation and will count toward the first of six levels in the CBV accreditation program. CBV Institute President Christine Sawchuk says that the course is developed by business evaluation professionals and provides a case-based hands-on approach to learning. Sawchuk added that modern tools such as AI and cryptocurrency, along with current economic uncertainty, are driving demand for CBV professionals. According to the Calgary Herald, the partnership is the only such partnership in Western Canada.
