			 completed a state and national criminal history check with the board within the
			 past 180 days, have completed 75 hours of appraisal education within the past
			 five years, take a supervisory/trainee appraiser course, and secure a qualified

Summary of certification
			 requirements.
As more fully set out in 193F-Chapters 3, 5, and 6, a
			 person who is in the process of completing the education, experience, and
			 examination required for certification as a certified appraiser may not submit
			 an application for certification to the board until all prerequisites have been
			 satisfactorily completed. The prerequisites include the following: qualifying
			 college and core criteria appraiser education, qualifying examination, 1,500
			 hours of qualifying experience in a minimum of 12 months for residential
			 appraisers or 3,000 hours of qualifying experience in a minimum of 18 months
			 for general appraisers, work product review, and a state and national criminal
			 history check consistent with Iowa Code section
			 543D.22.
			 Work product review requires numerous steps, as provided in
			 193F-5.6 (543D) and

			 product review process includes the applicant's submission of a work product
			 experience log to the board; the board's selection of three appraisals to

			 applicant's submission of the three appraisals and associated work files to the

			 reports to the board; a meeting between the applicant, the applicant's
			 supervisor, and the board's work product review committee; a formal board vote
			 at a board meeting; and communication of approval, denial, or deferral to the
			 applicant. All of these steps must be completed before an applicant with
			 approved work product can submit an application for certification to the board
			 office. If the applicant's supervisor is unable to attend the work product
			 review meeting, the applicant, or the applicant's supervisor, must submit the
			 circumstances surrounding the absence to the executive officer so that it may
			 be determined if the work product review meeting should be
			 rescheduled.

			 an Iowa certified real estate appraiser with the appropriate certification for
			 the property at issue, or by a person holding an appropriate license or
			 certification from a foreign jurisdiction who also has been issued a temporary
			 practice permit under Iowa Code section

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
PAREA utilizes simulated experience training and serves as an
				alternative to the traditional supervisor/trainee experience model. PAREA
				programs must be AQB-approved and meet all the required elements found in the
				PAREA section of the most recent AQB criteria. An applicant who meets the
				prerequisites of a PAREA program prior to commencement of training, and who
				receives a valid certificate of completion from an AQB-approved PAREA program,
				has met the allotted experience requirements as outlined in the AQB criteria
				for that specific PAREA program. PAREA program experience allotment will be
				awarded per the AQB criteria at the time of program completion.
EXAMPLE: An applicant who has completed an AQB-approved
				certified residential real property PAREA program may receive 50 percent of the
				required experience hours toward the certified general real property
				credential. However, these hours are not eligible toward the nonresidential
				real property required experience hours.
Applicants claiming PAREA experience credit may not receive
				partial credit for PAREA training. An applicant who did not fulfill the
				prerequisites of the PAREA training program prior to commencement but received
				a certificate of completion of that program has not fulfilled the experience
				requirements of the AQB criteria. In the event that a deficiency in the
				prerequisites is found, the applicant may be provided an opportunity to correct
				the deficiency prior to any denial of an application. An applicant may not
				receive a certificate of completion until all required components of a PAREA
				program have been successfully completed and approved by a program mentor.
				Certificates of completion must be signed by an individual from the training
				entity qualified to verify an applicant's successful completion. An applicant
				wishing to utilize PAREA experience must still comply with rules
				193F-6.1 (543D) through
				193F-6.7
				(543D).

				following additional education, examination, supervision, and experience
				requirements, which include work product review and a state and national
				criminal history check as provided in Iowa Code section
				543D.22.
				For all intents and purposes, a certified residential real property appraiser
				seeking to upgrade to a certified general status will be considered an
				associate appraiser as it relates to differences between the scope of practice
				of the two licensure categories, and the upgrade process will generally follow
				the same registration requirements, supervisory identification and maintenance
				requirements, and processes and procedures generally applicable to associate
				appraisers set forth in 193F-Chapter 4.
