Recommended: You should complete the required courses for the MAI designation before attempting this seminar. The offering is at an advanced level. If you are not proficient with a financial calculator it is suggested you take the Appraisal Institute online HP 12C seminar. The seminar is through the Appraisal Institute. Go to the links tab and go to the Appraisal Institute site. You should be familiar with USPAP, the Appraisal Institute Ethics, Regulation 6 and Guide Notes. Go to the links tab and view or download the documents associated with those topics. Also, go to Free Downloads tab and download Skills & Tools and go over the materials including working the problems included in that set of materials. These materials were apart of The Comprehensive Appraisal Workshop when it was a five-day offering and it is anticipated the student is proficient in the problems presented in the Skills & Tools materials. Finally, review the course materials from the Appraisal Institute classes and The Appraisal of Real Estate, 12th Edition.
