Appraisal Continuing Education Is A State Requirement
Pennsylvania-certified residential and general appraisers, certified evaluators, Pennsylvania real estate broker licensees who still retain the now-unavailable broker-appraiser certification, and Pennsylvania licensed appraisal trainees are required by the Pennsylvania State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers to become re-certified (the term for renewing their licenses) every two years, by no later than June 30 during odd-numbered years.
Polley Associates provides a full complement of 28 hours of required appraisal continuing education, also known as appraisal recertification, for Pennsylvania licensees. Its current courses include:
- the biennial and required 7-hour update for Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP);
- required 2-hour “Pennsylvania Mandated Law;”
- 14-hour Residential Construction Refresh
- 5-hour Unique Properties
Once a certified appraiser has completed all necessary appraisal continuing education, he or she can renew their certifications (licenses) online at a state-specified website.
