The DSRE project aims to improve professional standards in the field of valuation, through the development of curriculum and qualification standards, in order to provide a transnationally recognised certificate of competence in valuation and surveying.The project will produce a series of training modules in EN and then further in all partner languages, covering the examination curriculum (national & European property markets and valuation methods, basic technical knowledge, operation of land registry, economics and business management, mathematics and statistics) and professional ethics (discretion/confidence, objectivity, impartiality/independence, technical competence).These modules will, in turn, lead to a two-stage examination comprising written and oral testing. The end results will be submitted for accreditation, as a minimum in the UK.Results of the current project will be made available on-line, with modules being available for download from the project website.The end training programme will focus on present and future needs of the profession and will be designed is such a way that they are able to be adapted, transferred and collectively applied as a standard model for a transnational training framework beyond the lifetime of the project, as such the end result is planned for commercialisation, with membership fees planned to finance ongoing development work.
