Additional Training Opportunities
Accreditation Continuing Education Credits for Advisory Appraisals
In 2009, the Department of Revenue created a program that provides county appraisal
staff with more opportunities to obtain continuing education credits to use toward
their Accreditation certification renewals. County appraisers can now assist members
of the Department's Valuation Advisory Group when they are conducting Advisory Appraisals.
If the Department is conducting an Advisory Appraisal in your county, you may assign
one appraiser per Advisory Appraisal
from your office to assist with the appraisal. A maximum of 30 Accreditation continuing
education credits may be earned per year for participating in this program. (Note: Continuing education credits earned from assisting
with Advisory Appraisals cannot be used toward the Department of Licensing real
estate appraiser continuing education requirements. ) Below is a brief
summary of the guidelines.
The county appraiser is responsible for…
- successfully completing IAAO Course 102, Income Approach to Valuation, prior to
submitting an application (required prerequisite).
- contacting and coordinating the training with the Department's appraiser assigned
to the county’s Advisory Appraisal.
- tracking the appraisal activities performed, the number of hours, and obtaining
all signatures required on the application form before the conclusion of the Advisory
Appraisal.
- submitting a copy of the completed application form with their renewal accreditation
application if they want to use the hours earned from the Advisory Appraisal. For
more information on this program, please contact the Education Specialist at (360)

Department of Licensing – course approval list
Another method for obtaining continuing education credit is through classes offered
by other course providers that the Department of Licensing (DOL) has approved. If
DOL has approved a class on the list for continuing education credit, the Department
of Revenue will also accept those credits for accreditation purposes. An updated
list of classes can be found at:
