Join us for a 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course on March 5, 2020 in Asheville, NC. This course is NCAB and NCREC approved.

This 7-hour update course, copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, focuses on recent changes to USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. The course, which clarifies several commonly misunderstood aspects of USPAP, will aid participants in all areas of appraisal practice seeking updated competency in USPAP, including those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers.

NOTE. Appraisers must successfully complete the 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course every 2 years to meet the USPAP continuing education requirement.

State licensed and certified course participants who wish to complete the 15-Hour National USPAP Course may do so, but it will only count for state CE (elective) credit and will not meet the National USPAP requirement for state licensing retention.

PLEASE NOTE: Students are responsible for downloading the class materials or bringing in the hard copy they purchased as well as bringing the USPAP book.
