24.207.2101    CONTINUING EDUCATION

(1) Continuing education courses shall be approved according to the criteria of ARM 24.207.504, including application for reapproval after three years.

(2) An examination shall not be required.

(3) Courses must be a minimum of two hours in length to receive approval.

(4) Application may be made for continuing education credit for participation other than as a student in appraisal education processes and programs. Examples of activities for which credit may be granted are teaching, program development, authorship of textbooks or similar activities which are determined by the board to be equivalent to obtaining continuing education.

(5) Every other renewal year, licensees shall provide evidence to the board of having completed at least 31 hours of instruction in courses or seminars approved by the board, at least seven hours of which must be the national USPAP course.

(6) An education reporting form executed under the penalty of perjury of the laws of Montana attesting to the successful completion of the continuing education requirement must be submitted to the board by the date set by ARM 24.101.413 of the licensee's educational reporting cycle.

(7) An incomplete education reporting form will not be accepted and will be returned to the licensee. Any form returned to the licensee must be properly completed and resubmitted before the date set by ARM 24.101.413.

(8) All continuing education courses must be taken and completed within the licensee's educational cycle.

(9) The board may audit licensees for compliance with continuing education requirements. Audited licensees must provide copies of completion certificates to the board as verification of compliance within 30 days after mailing of the audit request.

(10) Education reporting forms will be mailed to all real estate appraiser licensees at their last address of record. Failure to receive an education reporting form does not eliminate the reporting requirement.
