What’s the difference between qualifying education and continuing education (CE)?
Qualifying education is what you must have in order to either become an appraiser or move up to different statuses in the field. Continuing education is what you must have in order to maintain your status as an appraiser or registered trainee. The current CE requirement is 28 hours in a two-year cycle with 7 hours consisting of the 7 hour National USPAP Update class. The other 21 hours may be comprised of any Board approved classes as long as online courses comprise no more than 14 hours per two-year cycle.
