How to Become an Appraiser in 3 Steps

There are three steps to becoming a real estate appraiser: education, license application, and on-the-job training.

Appraiser Trainee Education Requirements

  1. Basic Appraisal Principles — 30 Hours
  2. National USPAP Course — 15 Hours
  3. Basic Appraisal Procedures — 30 Hours

Find qualifying appraisal courses for your state.

01

Complete appraisal pre-licensing courses

Before becoming an appraiser, most states require that you first become an appraiser trainee (also known as “apprentice appraisers” or “registered appraisers”).

To become a trainee, you must complete and pass 75 hours* of basic appraisal qualifying education.

No experience is required to begin pre-licensing courses. In most states, you can complete courses online at your own pace with McKissock.

02

Apply for your appraisal trainee license

Once you’ve completed your coursework, prepare to apply for your trainee license. Here’s how:

1) Submit your application and fees to the state board
2) Submit your fingerprints and background check information
3) Receive your license from your state’s board

Steps and license levels vary from state to state. Contact your state appraisal board for specific state information or click on the state dropdown below.

03

Work under a certified
appraisal supervisor

The final step is training with a certified appraiser supervisor. Through this expert, you’ll learn the business and grow your understanding of the appraisal process.

The supervisor and trainee must document any completed work. A state regulatory board will review upon submission. The number of required experience hours varies by state; check your state’s licensing requirements to learn yours.

I love using McKissock! I can do things based on my own schedule and, while many places offer online classes, McKissock keeps them interesting and that helps to maintain my focus. It was great to be able to take classes that actually taught me things that I can apply to my every day work load. And the best part was that the classes were not boring.

They always provide a wide variety of courses that apply to my needs and have greatly increased my potential for taking on many different types of appraisal assignments with the confidence and experience required to complete a credible report.
