SAVE THE DATE: 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course

The Northern New Jersey Chapter of the American Society of Appraisers together with Appraisal Economics will sponsor an all-discipline National USPAP 2016-2017 7-hour Update Course on Monday March 21, 2016 at 9:00 am.  The course will be held in the conference room at Appraisal Economics, 140 E Ridgewood Ave Suite 380N, Paramus, NJ 07652 (Phone: 201-265-3333). The instructor, fees and other details are to be announced.

The National USPAP Update Course from The Appraisal Foundation is a one-day course that focuses on recent changes to USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers.  This course, which clarifies several commonly misunderstood aspects of USPAP, will aid appraisers in all areas of appraisal practice seeking updated USPAP competency, including those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers.

This course is required for all State Licensed or Certified Real Property Appraisers and Assessors.

Seating is limited, so please register early for the course, which meets the USPAP continuing education requirements for most appraisers, including the ASA requirement of one 7-hour USPAP update course every five years for accredited (AM, ASA, FASA) appraisers.
