This Unique Course Combines it All Appraisers who are currently members of a professional personal property association or society that requires attending the National USPAP Course can fulfill that requirement through this course offering. Other professionals such as insurance or CPPC adjusters, moving company claims offices, military transportation offices, repair personnel, lawyers, accountants, bankers, fiduciaries, or others who are not appraisers but who have a tangential interest in personal property appraisals and standards would also benefit from attending this course. Now Available in One Six-Day Course Offering Potential students with extensive product and market knowledge such as antique dealers, auctioneers and estate liquidators will benefit greatly from taking the ACA course. CPPC repair companies that value depreciating and ordinary properties for the moving and storage industry will benefit by understanding the issues that must be considered in any valuation assignment. Such professionals who frequently appraise without proper training in appraisal theory, methods and standards are at great risk of liability and cannot properly serve the public or their clients unless they have proper appraisal training. Beginning appraisers who have adequate product and market knowledge and experience will develop their appraisal competence and be in a position to develop and report credible value opinions. The ACA six-day course offering will help enhance appraisal skills and help the appraiser meet current USPAP requirements with which appraisers must comply. Compliance with USPAP helps ensure credibility, and proper performance helps protect the appraiser from malpractice liability and the public from shoddy appraisals. Frequent users of appraisal services such as adjusters, bankers, lawyers, accountants and fiduciaries will also greatly benefit from the ACA course offering by providing the necessary knowledge to understand the appraisal process and to judge the merits or shortcomings of appraisal reports. New IRS regulations raise the bar for the requirements for those doing Federally related appraisals such as for donation or estate purposes. Specifically, the IRS now requires a designation from a recognized professional appraisal association OR a minimum education and experience. This course helps you meet these new requirements by satisfying certain educational requirements offered by associations which offer designations as a personal property appraiser.

Never before has a complete course in personal
property appraising been combined with an offering of the 15-hour
National USPAP Course. Graduates will learn not only the theory,
principles and methodology of professional personal property
appraising, but they will also obtain an education in USPAP,
the national
standard promulgated by The Appraisal Foundation of Washington,
DC and now considered mandatory training for the professional
personal property
appraiser.
It can cost thousands of dollars and take many months attending appraisal courses
offered piecemeal and at random times in different locations to
learn the basics of appraising. The Appraisal Course Associates
six-day,
single
location, USPAP-centric course will accomplish much the same at
a lower cost and with a minimal time requirement.
