Online Appraisal CE Courses
New! Mandatory CE Requirement: Two hours of fair housing or appraisal bias course.
If you have already completed your 28 hours of appraisal CE and you are coming up for renewal, you will need an additional two hours of fair housing (or appraisal bias).
To complete the requirement, click on the link: 2 Hr. Virginia Fair Housing. This will take you to a list of real estate continuing education courses. Scroll down the page and select 2 Hr. Virginia Fair Housing. The appraisal board will accept this course for satisfying the new requirement.
When completed, save the certificate of completion, and submit it to the Real Estate Appraiser Board.
In the future you will still complete 28 hours of continuing education, but part of the elective hours will now be two hours of fair housing.
In other words, your 28-hour CE requirement will be 7-Hour USPAP (mandatory); 2-Hour fair housing (mandatory); and 19 hours of elective topics.
