Hours for my Experience Log (Trainee)

[Uppraiseric]

Hello All, I am a trainee appraiser from cali. i am in the process of filling out my experience logs to upgrade to AR, The OREA stated that experience log of 2000 hours may not be completed sooner than 12 months which equates to 40 hrs/week. 1.5 years ago I completed 400 hours of level 10 experience which is ASSISITING IN THE PREPARATION AND COMPLETION OF THE APPRAISAL (with out signing the report). Now i find myself able to complete the remaining 1600 hours in approximately 6 months (if i work 40+ hours a week). My question is will the orea allow me to log 40+ hours/week on my logs? I tried calling the OREA twice and left 2 messages for them both with no reply. Can someone please help me out. Thanks!

P.S. I just signed up with A.F. and this is my first post.

My bold and red.

AR is a certified residential. That requires 2500 hours of acceptable experience and a minimum of 2.5 years of experience. See the information on OREA web site:

It's possible to log 40 or more hours per week if you have the work available, but you're not going to get it in 6 months, (check your math).

Thanks for your feed back!

Randolph,

Thanks for the feedback, im uprgading to Residential license not Certified Res. That was my fault.

Lloyd,

In addition to the 400 hours of category 10 experience, i also have 800+ hours of category 1 experience 1200 total. So im figuring in 6 mos. I should be done.

Again,

Thanks for everyone's feedback.:laugh:

Just to muck things up a bit, the pre-licensure 400 hours would require you personally to have been named in the report as providing professional assistance, although you did not sign the reports. I might be wrong, but you absolutely must clarify this before submitting a work sample; otherwise you could very well lose the 400 hours--which in the current environment could take months & months to recoup.

Also, and although it might go without saying, hours-per-week is not a valid "unit of comparison" for the sake of accumlating experience hours. Rather, the unit is hours-per-assignment and including an assumption that the number of hours required per assignment will decrease as your experience increases.

I find my hours per assignment going up and has been since last year. More research, confirmations, graphs, statistical analysis, etc.

I think the phenomenon is termed "exogenous" and beyond the scope of the original relationship.
