In-Person | 2026-2027 7-hour National USPAP® Continuing Education Course
December 8 @ 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
This course is designed to provide an in-depth exploration of key USPAP concepts and how they apply in day-to-day appraisal practice. Unlike previous courses that centered around updates to USPAP, this iteration offers an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of foundational principles through targeted lessons and practical case studies.
By delving into specific areas of USPAP, participants will gain a refreshed and enhanced comprehension of the standards that guide and govern professional appraisal practice. The course offers case studies that explore common challenges, allowing appraisers to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios and fostering a practical, hands-on understanding of USPAP’s requirements.
The primary objective is not only to reinforce USPAP’s principles but also to examine how they can be applied to solve current and emerging issues in the field. This course is intended for experienced appraisers who have previously completed the 15-Hour National USPAP Course and seek to further sharpen their skills in applying USPAP to complex, everyday appraisal tasks.
