This course addresses topics that were not included in the older version such as International Standards, diversity, and Regulation No. 5.

  • how to identify and avoid behavior that violates the Code of Professional Ethics

  • the correct way for Associate and Designated Members to use the Appraisal Institute's designations, emblems, and logo

  • how the Appraisal Institute's enforcement process works and what it means to an individual member

  • the importance of diversity as business strategy

  • business practices that are unacceptable in a customer service industry such as appraisal practice and ways to avoid unacceptable practices


NOTE: Due to some content specific to the Appraisal institute, the AQB has approved this course for 5 hours of CE. Check with your state for approved credit hours. Appraisal Institute members will receive 7 hours of A.I. credit.
