Online USPAP FAQs

Most processes for AI’s online programs apply to USPAP programs as well, but there are some exceptions.

The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) mandates the structure and design of the online USPAP courses. To successfully complete the course, participants must complete all module content, module quizzes, knowledge checks, video case studies, and the final assessment.

Knowledge Checks

Throughout each module, participants will encounter Knowledge Checks—short, multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce learning objectives and provide immediate feedback. Each Knowledge Check typically consists of a single question tied to a specific concept, allowing participants to assess their understanding as they progress through the material.

Module Quizzes

Participants must achieve a minimum score of 70% on each module quiz before progressing to the next module. Each quiz is generated from a pool of assessment questions using a 3:1 question bank format, ensuring variety and comprehensive coverage of key concepts.

Final Assessment

The Final Assessment draws from a separate pool of questions, also using a 3:1 question bank format. These questions assess understanding of the overall course content and differ from those found in the module quizzes. For each attempt, one-third of the questions are randomly selected from the question pool. Participants must earn a minimum score of 70% to successfully complete the Final Assessment. Multiple attempts are permitted until the required score is achieved.

Recommendation: Participants who do not pass a module quiz or the final assessment are encouraged to review the course materials thoroughly before attempting the assessment again.

• USPAP courses have a fixed screen resolution. Adjust screen resolution to something more than 800 x 600. Somewhere around at least 1024 x 768 should work.
• To adjust the screen resolution in Windows, right click on an empty space anywhere on your desktop and a box will appear. Click on Display Settings (Win 10) or Screen Resolution (Win 7). Make the resolution adjustment, click Apply, then select Keep (Win 10) or OK (Win 7).

• Once you have started the course, you can log off by clicking on "Exit Course" in the top right area and return into the system later exactly where you left off.
• After you have mastered a module, you can always review the module using the Menu icon in the upper left-hand corner. You can review in one of three ways: content only, quiz questions only, or content and quiz questions.
• During review, the quiz questions work exactly as they did before, but since you have already mastered them, nothing is being tracked. You can review as little or as much as you wish.
