Certified Residential Appraiser Continuing Education

​28 hours of approved continuing education must include the 7 Hour USPAP Update course. Completion of the 15-hour USPAP course can be used for qualifying education or general continuing education hours only; it does not satisfy the requirement to complete the 7-hour National USPAP Update Course. 

The Wisconsin Administrative Code states that a 7-Hour USPAP Update must have been taken during the biennium in order to renew an appraisal license. Due to the timing of our renewal date, this can be either  the 2018-2019 or the 2020-2021 USPAP Update. That said, federal guidelines state that appraisers cannot skip a USPAP Update period, so a license holder should ensure that they have taken the 2018-2019 Update at some point prior to taking the 2020-2021 Update. 

List of Wisconsin Approved Courses

PLEASE NOTE: Courses that have been approved by the AQB do not require separate approval. For the most current listing, please visit the AQB-Approved (CAP) Course Listing site.

NOTE: In the biennium when credential is first issued, 14 hours, including the 7 hours of USPAP, are required for each full or partial year of that biennium.
