(USPAP) Update Course(7-Hours) $125

Focuses on recent changes to USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. It also includes information intended to clarify some commonly misunderstood aspects of USPAP.

Each student must have for individual use in the classroom a copy of the 2010-2011 edition of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. This required text provides the framework for the course and is referred to throughout the day. It is vital that participants become familiar with the latest edition of this document. This course assumes that participants have previously completed the National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) Course, 15-Hour, or an equivalent 15-hour course.

This update course is designed to aid appraisers 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.

The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice have been endorsed and adopted by the major appraisal organizations. As required by federal law, states must incorporate USPAP in their real estate appraiser certification programs. Implementation and enforcement of USPAP occurs through its adoption, citation, or reference by an agency or other public body, or an organization or client group with legally enforceable jurisdiction over either the service an appraiser performs, or over the appraiser. The requirement to comply with USPAP may also occur as a result of an agreement to comply between the appraiser and the client, or it may be voluntary on the part of the appraiser.

**Please note that tuition includes the USPAP 7 Hour National Course Student Manual. Students must also posess and bring to class a current edition of the USPAP (2010/2011). You may bring your own copy, or purchase one at All Florida Real Estate Schools for $75. Click here to Purchase from the Appraisal Foundation your Current USPAP edition Here!**
