Notice to Trainee and Upgrading Appraisers
Published on
March 2, 2026
Appraisers who are upgrading their credential must complete the 7-hour Valuation Bias and Fair Housing (VB-FH) course and pass the required 1-hour exam in order to meet the Qualifying Education (QE) requirement.
Please note:
- The 1-hour exam is required if you are using the course to upgrade your credential.
- The 7-hour CE course alone does not satisfy QE requirements without the exam.
- The exam must be taken through the same approved education provider that administered the course.
- Both the course and exam must be state-approved.
Failure to complete the required exam may delay the processing of your upgrade application.
