This is the 7-Hour National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) Update Course, as developed by The Appraisal Foundation (Foundation). The course focuses on how to use the USPAP publication to help solve appraisal issues that affect daily appraisal practice. 

This course will cover best practices for measuring residential dwellings and will focus primarily on the ANSI Z765-2021 Standard, which is the only nationwide standard for measuring properties that has been adopted by state appraisal regulatory agencies. The course will also address guidelines and requirements for measuring GLA and GBA established by other entities, such as HUD/FHA. 

This course addresses the numerous factors that an appraiser should consider when it comes to accepting and completing hybrid, bifurcated, and desktop appraisal assignments. Beginning in March 2022, desktop appraisals will be available for some mortgage loans. This course has been updated with Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's guidelines on how to complete the 1004 desktop/70D appraisal form . Complying with USPAP, mitigating risk, understanding the intended use, identifying the relevant characteristics, and verifying data from secondary sources, are just some of the considerations that are examined in this course. In addition, practical application examples and illustrations are plentiful in this course.
