    Course Description
    This course synthesizes the three approaches to value, examines their applications, and helps you apply basic and advanced valuation techniques. Case studies teach you how to address common but complex appraisal issues, including a leased fee not at market rent, a proposed property, a property in a market not at equilibrium, and a subdivision. The course emphasizes the need to test the reasonableness of all the conclusions in an appraisal.

    Note. This is primarily a synthesis course, not a review course. Like all advanced education courses sponsored by the Appraisal Institute, the course naturally reviews many concepts taught in previous courses. However, it includes some new material and does not include a complete overview of the other courses. Therefore, Advanced Concepts & Case Studies should not be considered an adequate review for the comprehensive exam. To prepare for the comprehensive exam, participants must review all four advanced education courses, as well as basic concepts from qualifying education for certified general real property appraisers.
    Who Should Enroll
    • General real property appraisers who want to improve their ability to apply appraisal methods, techniques, and procedures
    • Candidates for Designation who are working toward an MAI designation

    Important Note: Mandatory Diagnostic Test
    Before enrolling in this or any other MAI designation course, you must take a diagnostic test. The Excel diagnostic tests your mastery of solving appraisal problems using spreadsheets. This diagnostic test was intentionally designed to be challenging and ensure participants have adequate Excel skills before taking MAI designation courses. For more information, check out the Diagnostic FAQ.

     

    Excel is used extensively in the MAI designation courses; it is highly recommended that you know how to perform the necessary appraisal functions in Excel to succeed in this course.

    The diagnostic test is free and can be taken at any time on your personal computer. To register for the test, please click here.

    This course implements a blended learning approach, which includes:
    • A pre-class, 2-hour online session
    • 35 hours of traditional classroom education
    • A 3-hour exam on the 6th morning.

    You will be asked to clear the calculator’s memory before and after the examination. Only one calculator is permitted in the testing room. Examinees taking most AI exams may bring their own calculator to use during the exam. Laptops, cellular phones, tablets, iPads, wearable technology (smart watch, Apple Watch, Google Glass, etc.), and other devices that can store data or connect to the Internet are NOT permitted during the exam. In addition, all watches, wallets, bags, and purses must be removed and stored out of reach prior to taking the exam.

    Requirements:

    • Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010 must be loaded and operational (external mouse recommended). (You may use other spreadsheet programs, but those programs won’t be supported in class; demonstrations will be done in Excel.)     
    • Do not enroll expecting to be taught how to use Excel.
