Online USPAP Courses

Whether you’re renewing your license or building the foundation for a new appraisal career, AQB-approved USPAP compliance doesn’t have to mean working around someone else’s calendar. Both 7-Hour and 15-Hour USPAP courses are available as live online instruction or fully self-paced, asynchronous learning. Same state-approved content, same trusted quality, but in a format that actually fits your life.

15-Hour USPAP Course

This is your foundation. The 15-hour course doesn’t just cover what USPAP says — it teaches you how appraisers think. You’ll understand the history behind the standards, the professional responsibility at the core of the credential, and the workflow of appraisal practice from the ground up. Built for working adults making the transition.
