The path to becoming a real estate appraiser in Georgia starts with trainee appraiser education. It’s your gateway to gaining experience in the field working under a supervisory appraiser. The Appraisal Qualifications Board (AQB) sets the standard for required qualifying education and our program sets you up for success to advance with confidence.
As always, be sure to check your state requirements when planning your appraisal education.
In many states, entry into the real property appraisal profession occurs with the trainee appraiser classification. This classification may be referred to as apprentice appraiser, provisional appraiser, registered appraiser, or a similar designation determined by state appraiser regulatory agencies. While the name may differ, the expectations of the role are the same. Trainee appraisers work under the direct control and supervision of a supervisory appraiser to gain an understanding of the national Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) while accumulating experience performing appraisals.
In this course, you'll learn about the qualifications and responsibilities of both the supervisory appraiser and trainee appraiser role including:
