This newly designed 7-hour update course, copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, focuses on USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. New case studies and tools are provided to help participants learn how to better navigate USPAP in order to solve problems in their daily appraisal practice and a USPAP Reference Manual is included with the course handbook. In addition, the topic of bias and appraisal practice will be covered using Advisory Opinion 16 showing how an appraiser can comply with USPAP as it relates to fair housing laws. The course will aid participants in all areas of appraisal practice seeking competency in USPAP, including those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers.

NOTE. Appraisers must successfully complete the 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course every 2 years to meet the USPAP continuing education requirement.

The USPAP publication did change for 2024 so a new book/download will be required for 2024. For more information, see The Appraisal Foundation's FAQs here.
