Course Description
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
