designation will be required to attend approved
personal property appraisal courses.

comprehensive and unique online course
of instruction presents over
550 pages of basic personal property appraisal theory
and methodology in a well-organized and step-by-step
process. The course has been written and is maintained
by nationally-known certified appraiser David
J. Maloney, Jr., AOA CM, the country's leading
educator in personal property appraising. The Complete
Online Course in Personal Property Appraising will
be available at no additional charge to all AOA members

While
offering a complete education
in all aspects of traditional personal property appraisal
basics, the course places a special emphasis on doing
appraisals online via the Internet making use of
digital images and client-provided descriptions as
opposed to personal inspections of the property by
the appraiser. Throughout the course, topics
pertaining specifically to online appraising are
highlighted in red.
