The Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) arm of The Appraisal Foundation (TAF), authorized by The Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC), has extended a temporary alternative to courses approved for classroom delivery through December 31, 2021.
License holders are encouraged to complete a course evaluation each time they complete a course through a TREC or TALCB approved education provider. Online versions of the Commission and Board course evaluation forms can be submitted electronically on the agency websites.
When preparing course applications, be sure they are filled out completely, all necessary documents are included and the fee is accurately calculated. Course applications and fees received separately will be sent back to the provider.
All providers are required to provide each student with a course evaluation form approved by the Commission or Board.
The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) is pleased to announce the updated CE Posting System. This system allows providers of appraiser CE (ACE) courses to post course credit directly into the agency’s system of record. Providers are required to post course credit within 10 days of course completion. If credit is not posted within 10 days of course completion, license holders should contact their education provider. The CE Posting System is only accessible to approved ACE providers and is not used to post qualifying or pre-licensing education.
December is upon us and the Holiday Season has begun in earnest. From our agency to your offices and homes, we wish you all the very best of blessings of the Season and a prosperous New Year in 2020. At TREC & TALCB we are celebrating the selection of our next Executive Director and Commissioner who will take on those responsibilities effective January 1st.
November has arrived, the World Series is done, NFL Football is halfway over, and the extended Holiday season is just around the corner. Before you know it, Thanksgiving Day, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter solstice, Christmas and New Year’s will be upon us, affording each of us at least one tradition to celebrate.
TALCB has adopted new rules to create an ACE program including measures to ensure compliance. These rules are located in §153.40 and §153.41 of Board rules, which became effective on September 1, 2019.
License holders can ensure the courses they take for ACE credit are approved by referencing the list of approved ACE Courses available on the TALCB website.

Courses approved under the new rules before the effective date of September 1, 2019, may not be offered until September 1, 2019.
