What is your experience or knowledge with valuation certifications? (APV, CVA, etc.)

How often do you guys in IB, CF, RE, and all the other related industries come across those with valuation certifications? Do you find it to be highly regarded in the industry? In what capacity are those who have valuation type certifications used? Do you have one of these designations yourself? If so, how has it helped you?

Would be interested in hearing some of your perspectives and experiences with this.

Sincerely,

CPA currently pursuing ABV, looking to possibly transition into advisory role.
