CHAPTER 7: CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
7.3 	Continuing real estate appraisal education must be taken from providers approved by the Board. In order to be approved by the Board, continuing education must meet the following standards: 
A.	It must have been developed by persons qualified in the subject matter and instructional design;
 B. 	It must be current;
 C. 	The instructor must be qualified with respect to content and teaching methods; and
 D. 	The number of participants and the physical facilities are consistent with the teaching method(s). 
The Board, at its discretion, may require an evaluation in a manner determined by the Board of an educational offering to ensure compliance with the above standards. By offering real estate appraisal continuing education approved by the Board, each provider agrees to comply with relevant statutes and Board Rules and to permit Board audit of said courses at any time and at no cost. If the Board determines that the offering fails to comply with the standards set forth above, the Board will notify the provider of such deficiency and work with the provider to correct such deficiency prior to the next class offering. If such deficiency is not corrected, then the Board may withdraw approval of the provider, instructor and/or the class. 
7.4 	The following may be approved as providers of continuing appraisal education, provided the standards set forth in Board Rule 7.3 are maintained, and provided they have complied with all other requirements of the state of Colorado: 
A. 	Accredited colleges, junior colleges, community colleges or universities as defined in Board Rule 1.30; 
B. 	Professional appraisal and real estate related organizations; 
C.	State or federal government agencies; 
D. 	Proprietary schools holding valid certificates of approval from the Colorado Division of Private Occupational Schools, Department of Higher Education; 
E. 	Continuing education completed in other jurisdictions, providers approved by such other jurisdiction, provided that the jurisdiction’s appraiser regulation program  is in compliance with Title XI, FIRREA, as determined by the ASC as defined in Board Rule 1.42;
F. 	The providers of continuing education approved under the CAP as defined in Board Rule 1.39; and 
G.	Other providers as the Board may approve upon petition of the education provider or licensee in a form acceptable to the Board.
7.7 	The Board will award continuing education credit to credentialed appraisers who attend a Board’s public meeting in person, under the following conditions: 
A. 	Credit will be awarded for a single Board meeting per license cycle; and 
B. 	The meeting must be open to the public and must be a minimum of two (2) hours in length. The total credit cannot exceed seven (7) hours. 
7.12 	Continuing real estate appraisal education must be successfully completed by the licensee. Successful completion means attendance at the offering and participation in class activities. Successful completion of courses undertaken through distance education requires compliance with the provisions of Board Rule 7.14. Teaching of continuing real estate appraisal education will constitute successful completion, if also in compliance with Board Rule 7.8; however, credit will be given for only one (1) presentation of a particular offering during each licensing period. 
7.15 	As to continuing education completed in other jurisdictions with appraiser regulatory programs that are in compliance with Title XI, FIRREA, as determined by the ASC as defined in Board Rule 1.42, the Board will accept the number of hours of continuing education accepted by that jurisdiction.
