This course addresses topics that were not included in the older version such as International Standards, diversity, and Regulation No. 5. The examples and case studies address real-life, up-to-date matters such as mortgage fraud and advocacy. The course contains relevant and much-needed information for members.

  • 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
