What do I have to do to renew my Appraiser Trainee approval?

Education Requirements

  • Complete 28 hours of approved appraiser continuing education (ACE) courses during the two year license period, which must include a 7 hour National USPAP Update course. Use the ACE Course search tool to see a list of currently approved providers and courses.  After completing your course work, you are welcome to submit a course evaluation
  • Complete an approved Appraiser Trainee/Supervisory Appraiser Course within 4 years of the current license expiration date. This course does not count toward the 28 hours of ACE courses.

If you renew the license after the expiration date you must also submit the Addition of Appraiser Trainee Supervision form to re-establish supervision.  The certified supervisory appraiser must complete the approved 4 hour Appraiser Trainee/Supervisory Appraiser Course. The course must be reflected in the certified supervisory appraiser's electronic license record before an authorization can be issued.

Fingerprint Requirements

If you have not submitted your fingerprints for TALCB or TREC with a previous renewal or application, you must be fingerprinted for a criminal background check.
