Appraising Personal Property: A Core Course in Valuation Studies Featuring USPAP

This 6-day course is intended for the novice as well as the experienced appraiser who may be lacking formal training in appraisal principles, methodology or the standards of USPAP.

Such experience may result from performing in the past as an appraiser, auctioneer, broker, dealer, claims adjuster, jewelry store owner, estate planner, attorney, estate liquidator, or avid collector. See "Your Obligation to Become Fully Trained".

Pre-class reading assignments are explained here.
