All approved education will expire on September 30, 2024.  We require all Education Renewal Forms to be received seven business days before our Board Meeting on September 12, 2024.

The Alabama Real Estate Appraisers Board is now accepting applications for renewal of education instructors and/or courses/seminars. Existing approval for instructors and/or courses/seminars taught in Alabama expire September 30, 2024. The new application period is for twenty-four months (or any portion thereof and every other year thereafter) beginning October 1, 2024 and expiring September 30, 2026.

The fees for course/seminar review are $5.00 per instruction hour. Evaluation fees for instructors are $25.00 for each Continuing Education course and $50.00 for each Licensure course.

Applications and fees for course and instructor approval must be completed and submitted in all cases.  If a course/seminar was approved in Alabama for the period ending September 30, 2024, the provided Affidavit form may be completed in lieu of the resubmission of course material, i.e. Textbook, instructor manual, syllabus, and/or other related material, etc. Current AQB Approval and IDECC Approvals must be attached.

The Board also accepts forms entitled COURSE APPROVAL PROGRAM developed by the Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials (AARO) for potential Universal adoption. These forms may be used if you prefer. The AARO Education Course Application forms can be found at www.aaro.net. Whichever set of forms used (Alabama or AARO), must be completed in their entirety.

Approved instructors must have record of having taught the course twice or courses substantially similar in content.  In order for an appraiser to be given credit for a course taught outside Alabama it must be appraisal related as outlined in the Administrative Code and the course must be approved by The Appraiser Regulatory Board in that state.

Any approved Licensure course must meet AQB criteria and be at least 15 hours in length with an exam.  Any approved Continuing Education course must be at least two hours in length and approved by the Board.
