Practicing Designated Members must complete 100 hours of continuing education for every five-year cycle, except for those members on a 100-Hour Recommended status. Designated Members on such status are strongly encouraged to complete 100 hours. Those that choose not to fulfill 100 hours will not be considered “continuing education completed” and must so affirm that they have not completed the program in their certification statement. Practicing Associate Members must complete 70 hours of continuing education for every five-year cycle.
Yes. All practicing Associate Members are subject to continuing education requirements. The first cycle began July 1, 2010.
According to Regulation No. 10, the Appraisal Institute will recognize three USPAP courses within one cycle. USPAP is required for every five-year cycle and must be included in the 100 hours for Designated Members and the 70 hours for Associate Members.
The Business Practices and Ethics course is required for every five-year cycle and must be included in the 100 hours for Designated Members and the 70 hours for Associate Members. View the schedule of upcoming courses.
The Advanced Continuing Education requirement must be met by both Designated Members with cycles ending 2011 and beyond and all Associate Members(who had not initial met their Standards and Ethics requirement at this time of this change). One of the options below must be completed every five-year cycle and must be included in the 100 hours for Designated Members and the 70 hours for Associate Members. No option may be repeated in any subsequent continuing education cycle unless such option has been substantially revised, as determined by the Admissions and Designation Qualifications Committee.
*Please note: If you are a dually Designated Member, you must complete general ACE requirements. If you are an Associate Member that is listed as both a general and a residential member, you must complete general ACE requirements. Is each course in the Level II curriculum an Advanced Continuing Education (ACE) option for both general and residential members? Yes. Each advanced course in the Level II curriculum may be applied as an option for a five-year continuing education cycle. Other courses not taken during a current cycle may be applied in subsequent continuing education cycles.
The Appraisal Institute approves certain “advanced” Appraisal Institute courses, seminars and professional development programs, granting 1.25 CE credit for every hour taken. Status reports will reflect these programs with an asterisk (*). View the current list of approved programs.
The Appraisal Institute will accept continuing education from outside providers if the programs meet a number of requirements. The topics covered in the program must be on our list of creditable topics, which can be found here: Creditable Topics. Continuing education cannot be a home study or correspondence course. Offering must be at least two hours in length. For USPAP courses, the instructor must be AQB certified. The Appraisal Institute accepts USPAP up to three times per five-year CE cycle. Continuing education credit will be given for up to 10 hours for each CE cycle for computer education for applications specific to the appraisal profession. If the program meets the requirements listed above, simply log the program online from your "My Appraisal Institute" page or submit the certificate of completion to the Continuing Education department.
