As a Trainee I am required to keep a log. What is the best way to do that and how long must it be retained?
Although as a Trainee you will not be ready to apply for the state exams until you have completed both the educational and work experience requirments, it is recommended that Trainees obtain the “Maryland Real Estate Appraisers Licensed/Certified Appraiser Qualification Information Handbook” from the testing company as they begin their training experience in order to begin documenting both the educational hours, as well as experience hours, in the format that will eventually be required when you are ready to submit your application to take the state examination. To request this packet, PSI Examination Services (PSI) may be reached at 1-800-733-9267. Both the educational and work experience forms are in this packet and may be reproduced as many times as needed. This not only saves alot of time later on, especially in the documentation of your experience, but it further serves as the required “trainee log” that must be kept by you. This log must be reviewed and signed on a regular basis
