Steps
Confirm the appraiser must complete the 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course once every two calendar years to maintain compliance with AQB Qualification Criteria.
Confirm the course uses AQB-approved current-cycle materials taught by an AQB-certified USPAP instructor.
Separately confirm any additional state-specific CE hour requirements beyond the 7-hour update course, since total CE per renewal period is set by the state.
Check whether the newer AQB Criteria requirement for a valuation-bias/fair-housing course (effective January 1, 2026, at time of writing) applies on its own biennial cycle in addition to the USPAP Update course.
Retain the course completion certificate as proof for state license renewal and for any roster/panel maintenance (FHA roster, AMC panels, etc.) that may separately request it.
Known gotchas
The 7-hour Update course runs on a calendar-year cycle separate from the newer valuation-bias/fair-housing course requirement — don't assume one course satisfies both.
Total state CE requirements usually exceed just the 7 USPAP hours; confirm the full state CE package separately.
