 2006 USPAP 7hr National Equivalent Update Course  
This is the Van Education Center 2006 Equivalent USPAP Update Course, Approved by the AQB Course Approval Program. The 7-Hour Update focuses on edits made to create the most recent versions of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

PLEASE NOTE: The 2006 USPAP course is the most recent version available from The Appraisal Foundation and is valid in 2007 until an update is released.

The course material emphasizes the edits made as a results of the Scope of Work Project, but also covers other edits made in creating the 2006 USPAP as well as key edits for the 2005 USPAP.

In addition to lectures, the course includes discussion problems that show how USPAP applies in situations that appraisers encounter in everyday practice. These examples primarily address issues frequently experienced by appraisers as professionals in the appraisal of real property.

This course is designed to aid appraisers in all areas of appraisal practice seeking competency in USPAP, including those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers.

USPAP has been endorsed and adopted by major appraisal organizations in the United States. As required by federal law, USPAP must be used by states in their real estate appraiser certification programs.
