EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS [PDF]

Any credential issued on or after January 1, 2008 must be in compliance with the following AQB Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria. MD legislation further establishes a Trainee License and requires that individuals in training to become licensed or certified real estate appraisers obtain that license. Without it, they cannot perform or sign appraisals, even under the direct supervision of a certified appraiser. The three-year license will be granted to applicants who have completed the 75- hour Appraiser Trainee Module as summarized below. The license may be renewed one time only for an additional three years (i.e. no career trainees). All renewals – trainee, license, and certifications - are subject to the completion of all 42 hours continuing education, including the 7-hour National USPAP Update Course, required for the renewal of all categories of licensure. Please note that the Maryland Real Estate Appraisers Commission requires that a minimum of 2,000 hours experience for the basic appraisal license be acquired over no less than 24 months.

Trainees should take note that the clock for their two year experience requirement is not automatically tied to the issue date of the Trainee License as it does not begin until they actually find a mentor and begin working on a regular basis after the Trainee License has been issued. There is no recognition of experience that may have been accumulated before the Trainee License was issued.

Two Financial Aide Scholarships for Qualified individuals are offered through MAA: Appraiser Trainee tuition free enrollment in MAA’s 75-hour trainee module and Appraiser Education College Credit scholarship for those licensed members who do not hold a college degree but must obtain college level education credits to upgrade to one of the two Certified levels.

Our Spring/Summer 2011 Course Schedule will be posted in January. MAA now accepts Mastercard and Visa.

For more information on this or experience requirements for the two certified categories, please call 410 879-1341.

Please call our Administrative Office (410-879-1341) to register for classes, to request a credit card authorization form, or for any additional information that you may be seeking.
