This required 7-hour continuing education course, copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, focuses on USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. New case studies and tools are provided to help you learn how to navigate USPAP better in order to solve problems in your daily appraisal practice, and a USPAP Reference Manual is included in the course handbook. The topic of bias and appraisal practice will be covered using Advisory Opinion 16 showing how an appraiser can comply with USPAP regarding fair housing laws. The course will help you gain competency in USPAP, and it will help those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers gain competency as well.

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

The new USPAP publication is effective January 1, 2024. 

Required Class Materials: The 2024 USPAP Book is now available. To purchase a print or electronic copy of the publication, please visit The Appraisal Foundation's website.
