In response to appraisal trainees’ difficulty in finding supervisory appraisers, the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) adopted the Practical Applications of Real Estate Appraisal (PAREA) program. PAREA is an alternative to the traditional supervisor and trainee model and offers practical experience through a range of online and virtual reality technology. The AQB is currently in the process of vetting prospective programs. If you would like to be notified about updates on PAREA availability, fill out the AQB's survey.
