Experience credit toward Certification!

Don't ask me! I was just reporting what the requirements are.

240 points/2000 hours = pretty close to 8 hours for a s/f report
(ok, I know you will want to be more precise so it is 8.33 hours per s/f to equal 2000 hours)

Registered Appraiser is 75 hours appraisal education and training, incuding 15 hours of standards and ethics. It's a nice looking blue license that isn't worth a grain of sand unless you find a mentor.

Licensed Appraiser is 90 hours of appraisal education including 15 hours of ethics and standards, two years or 2,500 hours of appraisal experience and passing a level A licensing exam.

Certified Residential Appraiser is 120 hours of appraisal education (15 hours of standards and ethics), mandatory 2 years working experience, a minimum of 2,500 hours logged and passing Level B examination.

Many appraisers choose to skip the Licensed appraiser level because the better lenders won't accept your work until you are certified. I was told that the appraisal board figures that a standard 1004 averages around 8 hours, but my former employer may have mislead me a bit on that. By the time I had in my two years mandatory experience and passed my certified residential level exam my log came in at close to 4,000 hours.
