This course provides at least 15 hours (50 minutes/hour) of online instruction in USPAP, and is approved by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB).

The course material emphasizes the role of the appraiser and the appraiser's impartiality associate with this role. The special responsibilities of the appraiser with regard to impartiality are explored in detail. In addition to lectures, the course includes Discussion Examples that show how USPAP applies to situations that appraisers as professionals in the appraisal of real property, personal property, and businesses or intangible assets, in appraisal review, and in real property appraisal consulting assignments.

An electronic version of USPAP, which provides the framework for the course, is included as part of the course materials and is referred to throughout the course. It is important that course participants become familiar with this document. Students may order a bound, printed edition of the USPAP document as well.
