Real property appraiser CE

Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB), The Appraisal Foundation — mapped mechanically, receipts included

Yardstick: Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria (Effective January 1, 2026)

For Appraisal CE course providers. Send one course and ProveStead maps it against the published requirements — every finding keyed to the standard's own locator, every AQB class hour recomputed from the materials, and an honest "not evaluable" where the materials can't prove it either way.

The credit math, recomputed

1 AQB class hour = 50 minutes
We divided the program's stated instruction minutes by 50 (Criteria III.A.1: a class hour is a 60-minute segment of which at least 50 minutes are instruction attended by the student; III.A.2: examination time counts within the prescribed class hours) and compared the result to the class hours the course claims.

You may be over-crediting AQB continuing-education class hours — that's the headline check. If the numbers in your materials don't support the AQB class hours you award, the report says so, with the arithmetic shown.

Honest scope

Our Class-B catalog for this standard carries 24 requirement records — locators, headings, and our own paraphrases (never the standard's text). 11 are assessable from course materials; the rest are provider-process requirements (your records, oversight, and procedures) which the report marks not_evaluable — never guessed, never faked.

  • Every finding carries the standard's locator and recomputable arithmetic.
  • Absent input is reported as absent — a missing fact is never scored against you.
  • The deliverable is an audit-ready evidence file you can hand to a reviewer.
No approval implied. It implies no AQB or Appraisal Foundation review, approval, or endorsement, and no course or provider approval: this report maps the course materials against the published Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria mechanically and is not an approval determination. The AQB promulgates the Criteria; course content and delivery-mechanism approval run through the AQB Course Approval Program and equivalent channels, and state appraiser regulatory agencies hold final authority over the education they accept for appraiser credentialing and renewal.
