Can I take appraisal continuing education online?
Yes, most states approve continuing education delivered online. New York approves appraiser CE courses in both classroom and distance-learning formats, and some states, including Texas and California, place no limit on the number of CE hours you may complete online. For distance-learning credit, providers must be able to monitor and verify your participation.
