USPAP is updated every two years so that appraisers have the information they need to deliver unbiased and thoughtful opinions of value. To become a personal property appraiser in the United States, appraisers must take the 15-Hour National USPAP Course (or its equivalent). This is also a requirement to earn your GPPA designation. After taking the 15-Hour National USPAP Course, personal property appraisers must take the 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course (or its equivalent) once every two calendar years. This is also a requirement to maintain your GPPA or MPPA designation. The Appraisal Foundation has granted NAA a non-exclusive license to offer the USPAP courses to the NAA community.
