Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 193F - Real Estate Appraiser Examining Board › Chapter 10 - Continuing Education › Rule 193F-10.2 - Continuing Education Obligations

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1) Board-licensed appraisers have to
			 demonstrate compliance with the continuing education set by the AQB
			 criteria.
(2) All continuing
			 education credit hours may be acquired in approved education
			 programs.
(3) Instructors claiming
			 continuing education credit may be requested to provide supporting
			 documentation to ascertain course content and related details.
(4) An applicant seeking to renew an initial
			 license issued less than 185 days prior to renewal is not obligated to report
			 any continuing education. An applicant seeking to renew an initial certificate
			 or registration issued for 185 days to 365 days prior to renewal has to
			 demonstrate completion of at least 14 credit hours, including the National
			 USPAP continuing education course or its AQB equivalent. An applicant seeking
			 to renew an initial certificate or registration issued 365 days prior to
			 renewal or more has to demonstrate completion of at least 28 credit hours,
			 including seven credit hours of the most recent National USPAP continuing
			 education.
(5) Prior to
			 reinstatement or reactivation of a certified general or residential
			 registration, a licensee in inactive, retired, or lapsed status has to complete
			 all continuing education hours that would have been needed if the licensee was
			 in active status. The hours will also include the most recent edition of a
			 National USPAP Update course.
(6)
			 During each two-year renewal period, a continuing education program may be
			 taken for credit only once.
(7) At
			 least 50 minutes of every class hour have to be attended by the student to
			 count as an hour of continuing education.
(8) An applicant may claim continuing
			 education credits that have been approved by another jurisdiction that has a
			 continuing education obligation for license renewal in that jurisdiction if the
			 applicable program was approved by the other jurisdiction's appraisal
			 regulatory body or the AQB for continuing education purposes at the time the
			 applicant completed the course. The burden of proof in this regard is on the
			 applicant. All other programs have to be approved upon application to the board
			 pursuant to this chapter.
(9) A
			 person certified or registered to practice real estate appraising in Iowa will
			 be deemed to have complied with Iowa's continuing education obligation for
			 periods in which the person is a resident of another state or district having
			 continuing education obligations for real estate appraising and meets all
			 obligations of that state or district.
(10) A person certified or registered to
			 practice real estate appraising in Iowa who completes an education course
			 approved by both the board and another appraiser regulatory body, for which the
			 approved hours vary, will only be allowed to claim the hours approved by the
			 board to meet the obligations of renewal of the person's associate registration
			 or certified credential in Iowa. A person certified or registered to practice
			 real estate appraising in Iowa who completes an educational course not approved
			 in Iowa, but approved by either the AQB or by another appraiser regulatory
			 body, may claim the hours awarded by either the AQB or the appraiser regulatory
			 body of the other jurisdiction.
