It’s no secret that the land market has been busy the past few years, and valuation professionals who are capable of appraising farmland and agricultural chattel are both short in supply and high in demand. The 2023 Education Calendar, recently released by the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA), features qualifying and continuing education for rural property professionals of all levels, from trainees looking to become certified general appraisers to seasoned appraisers wanting to add a new skill to their toolbox.
The ASFMRA’s educational suite, which includes core courses, specialized seminars, and informational webinars, has been developed from the ground up by practicing appraisers to address the complexities of rural property valuation. Additionally, accreditation pathways are available to valuation professionals who aspire to stand out from the crowd by earning their Accredited Rural Appraiser (ARA) or Real Property Review Appraiser (RPRA) designation, which are highly valued by employers and clients alike.
In an effort to make its offerings as convenient and accessible as possible, the ASFMRA has led the way in developing hybrid education, allowing students to attend in-person or virtually from the comfort of their home or office. This year, the ASFMRA is building a classroom outfitted with the latest technology to provide students with the best possible hybrid learning experience.
With the ASFMRA, it’s easy to take the next step in your appraisal career – visit the 2023 Education Calendar today and find the right course for you.
