We are now using the popular Zoom webinar platform for our online presentations.
The USPAP update course is designed for the personal property appraiser who, as a prerequisite, has kept current with the biennial USPAP updates or has taken the 15-HR National USPAP Course during the previous two-year cycle. While ideal for the personal property appraiser, this 7-HR USPAP Update Course is not appropriate for real property appraisers as it does not meet state licensing or certification requirements for real property appraisers. This update course conforms to the requirements set forth by the Appraisal Standards Board of The Appraisal Foundation.
