Become a real estate valuer in Morocco
— to international standards, in 5 months.

Who it is for

• Professionals who want to become property valuers
• Notaries, lawyers, asset and wealth managers
• Architects, land surveyors and engineering firms broadening their offer
• Professionals working with international clients who require RICS / IVS-based reports

The 5 modules

1. Property law — October. Every reliable valuation starts on solid legal ground: the Moroccan Land Title system and the role of ANCFCC, real rights (usufruct, easements, mortgage), joint ownership and the split of ownership rights, condominium law 18-00, and the legal defects to spot before valuing.

2. Property valuation — RICS — November. The core module. RICS Red Book and IVS framework and ethics, then the four method families applied to real cases: comparison (with justified adjustments), income (capitalisation and DCF), depreciated replacement cost, and the residual method for land.

3. Real estate taxation — December. Taxation shapes both the decision and the value: registration duties, the tax on property profits (TPI), property VAT, taxation of rental income, and how to factor all of it into an investment or valuation analysis.

4. Urban planning — January. Development potential makes or breaks land value. Reading a zoning plan and its regulations, buildability rules and building envelopes, permits, subdivision and land division, easements and non-aedificandi constraints, and the impact of buildable potential on value.

5. Commercial real estate — February. The specialisation module. Valuing offices, retail, industrial and logistics assets through the income approach, analysing a commercial lease (law 49-16), determining a market capitalisation rate, and structuring a complete valuation report — the final deliverable of the certification.

Standards and methods you will master

A valuation is only defensible if it rests on a recognised framework and on the right method. Here is precisely what the programme teaches you to apply — and to justify.

• RICS Red Book — The professional valuation framework: scope, ethics and the valuer's obligations.
• IVS — International Valuation Standards — Bases of value, assumptions and special assumptions to state before concluding on value.
• Comparison method — Building a comparable-based analysis with justified adjustments — the most used method, and the most often misapplied.
• Income method (capitalisation & DCF) — Deriving value from rental income, determining a market capitalisation rate and building a DCF.
• Depreciated replacement cost — Valuing an asset through its depreciated rebuild cost — the approach for specialised assets with no comparable market.
• Residual method — Deriving land value from the development scheme it supports — the heart of land valuation.

Certification or master's degree?

Morocco offers executive master's programmes in real estate expertise — long academic tracks, typically two years and several hundred hours, awarding an institutional degree. This certification answers a different need: 5 months, one day every two weeks, entirely built around real cases, so that a working professional can produce a defensible valuation report at the end of the programme.

Choose the master's if you are after an academic title and a long career change. Choose the certification if you are already in practice and want a billable skill quickly. And to be explicit: this certificate is not a state degree, not a university degree and not an RICS accreditation — its value lies in the method and in the practice of the trainers.

FAQ

How is this different from a classic 2-year programme? Classic degree programmes run 2 years, sometimes 2 and a half, with a large theoretical component. This is a 5-month certification, fully practice-oriented, with real cases in every module, one training day every two weeks — designed to run alongside your professional activity.

Professional certification or a master's in real estate expertise: which should I choose? These are two different logics, not competitors. An executive master's is a long academic programme (typically 2 years, several hundred hours) awarding an institutional degree and covering a broad spectrum. This certification targets the operational side: 5 months, 5 modules, one day every two weeks, so that you can produce a valuation report built on RICS / IVS standards by the end. Choose the master's if you want an academic title and a long career change; choose the certification if you are already working and want a billable skill quickly.

Is the certificate equivalent to a state or university degree? No, and we would rather say so plainly. It is a professional certificate issued by ReaConsult Academy on completion of the programme (multiple-choice test plus a final case study). It is neither a state degree, nor a university degree, nor an RICS accreditation. Its value lies in the method acquired and in the practice of the trainers, who are RICS-certified experts.

Which international standards are taught? The programme is built on the RICS Red Book and the IVS (International Valuation Standards): ethical framework, bases of value, assumptions and special assumptions, and the structure of a compliant valuation report.

Which valuation methods do you actually learn? Four method families, applied to real cases: comparison (with justified adjustments), income (capitalisation and DCF), depreciated replacement cost, and the residual method for the land value of a development site.

Can I take the certification while working full time? Yes — that is exactly why this format was chosen: a single training day every two weeks over 5 months, in person in Casablanca. The pace is designed for working professionals.

How does selection work? Pre-registration is online and takes about two minutes. Every application is reviewed — profile, role, experience, motivation — and 15 candidates are selected per cohort to keep the group small enough for real interaction.

Is a prior degree required? No. The certification is open to professionals and motivated candidates. Motivation and attendance matter most; your existing degree is simply recorded in the application.

How do the sessions run? The programme runs 5 months (October 2026 → February 2027), one day every two weeks, in person in Casablanca (5-star hotel).

Is there a certificate? Yes — a ReaConsult Academy certificate is issued after completion of the programme (multiple-choice test plus a final case study).

Can it be funded? For companies, the programme is reimbursable through the Moroccan CSF / OFPPT scheme — on request and after a specific review of your file.

Are modules sold separately? No, registration covers the complete certification programme (5 modules).
