Course Attendance: One hundred percent (100%) attendance is required for all Appraisal Institute education programs. This follows Appraiser Qualification Board minimum criteria requirements. State Certification: Students should contact their specific state to determine current education approval and requirements. Please follow the link above under locations to verify certification in your state. Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board Credit: 30-Hours Qualifying and Post Licensing Education, 0008056, Continuing Education, 17-Hours 0008219. ADA Policy: If you have a disability and may require special accommodation, please notify us in writing at least two (2) weeks in advance and we will arrange for reasonable accommodation. Florida Students: Florida law requires students receive a grade of 75% or higher on any classroom exam administered by education providers. The Appraisal Institute requires students to achieve 70% or higher to receive exam credit. Therefore, if any student who wishes to receive pre-licensure credit from Florida receives between 70-74%, he/she will receive a completion certificate from the Appraisal Institute that will clearly indicate that they will receive classroom and exam credit for the Appraisal Institute only. In turn, if a student receives between 70-74%, they will not get exam credit from the state of Florida (but will only receive classroom credit from Florida). If a student receives 75% or higher, they will receive both Appraisal Institute and state of Florida credit for the classroom and exam hours. If you have any questions regarding this law, please visit the Florida website at: http://www.state.fl.us/dbpr/re/freab_welcome.shtml Program materials will be picked up at the site.     Additional Information     Location: The Westin Fort Lauderdale 400 Corporate Drive Fort Lauderdale, FL 33334 Course Schedule: Registration/Class, Monday, November 9, 2009: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 10, 2009: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 11, 2009: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Thursday: November 12, 2009: 8:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Exam: 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Prerequisites: Basic Appraisal Principles Basic Appraisal Procedures National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) Course, 15-Hour Required Equipment: HP12-C Calculator.
