During the first four days (Part 1) of this unique on-site, six-day comprehensive course, Certified Appraiser and veteran appraisal course writer and instructor Dave Maloney, AOA CM teaches the principles and methodology of personal property appraising including terminology, valuation theory, governmental regulations, ethical and appraisal report writing standards, sample appraisal wording and much more including the day-to-day details of running an appraisal practice.

Part 2 of the curriculum is taught on days 5 and 6 and presents the complete National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) Course which is taught by AQB Certified USPAP Instructor, Bill Novotny, ISA AM, GCA. This two-day course is uniquely focused on personal property and is highlighted with many examples from personal property appraisal practice. (Because of its focus on personal property, this couse is not suitable for real property appraisers.) The course focuses on the requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers as set forth in USPAP. The course material emphasizes the role of the appraiser and the impartiality and independence that is required of them. This class will familiarize the student with the only nationally-recognized appraisal standard for appraisers.

Note that new IRS Regulations require that appraisals done for non-cash charitable contribution purposes be completed in compliance with "generally accepted appraisal standards" - the example given being USPAP. Our appraisal course was designed from the ground-up to be in accordance with USPAP!
