The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) are the generally accepted standards for professional appraisal practice in North America. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 recognizes USPAP as the generally accepted appraisal standards and requires USPAP compliance for appraisers in federally related transactions. State Appraiser Certification and Licensing Boards; federal, state, and local agencies, appraisal services; and appraisal trade associations require compliance with USPAP. Reflecting changes that occur in the valuation profession, USPAP is updated every two years, and appraisers are required to attend updated courses every two years. The new edition of USPAP goes into effect January 1, 2016.

If you are 10 minutes late, you may stay for the class, but you will NOT receive CE credits.

Due to the requirement of materials, there will be a fee for this class.
If you are an Appraiser and a member of SCAAR, the cost will be $110.00.
If you are an Appraiser and NOT a member of SCAAR, the cost will be $210.00.
If you are a Real Estate agent and a member of SCAAR, the cost will be $35.00.
If you are a Real Estate agent and NOT a member of SCAAR, the cost will be $135.00.
Note: The reason Appraisers need to pay more for class materials is because they are required to take this class and required to have the USPAP book, which is the cost difference. Since this class is not required for Real Estate Agents, they can get by without having the USPAP book.
