Course Audience

AR204 is the fourth and final Principle of Valuation (POV) course in the 4-course series (AR201-AR204) for those seeking the AM or ASA designation in Appraisal Review.  This course is also the last of two classes (AR201 and AR204) needed for ASA credential holders who wish to obtain the ARM Specialty Designation within their discipline.

AR204 also serves as the last of two required courses (AR201 and AR204) for attorneys, lenders, and other non-appraiser professionals who are interested in earning an ARM Certificate of Completion.

Students seeking the AM or ASA designation, it is recommended to take the POV courses in order starting with 201 and ending with 204 (but is not required) with the exception of those who already have an ASA and are earning another designation in ARM (meaning they must take AR201 and AR204). Those seeking the ARM Specialty Designation or the ARM Certificated of Completion need to take 201 followed by 204.  

Course Requirements

Students must bring a laptop to class and two (2) redacted reports for review are necessary for the course activities.vvv
