The bridge is for active Certified Residential appraisers who need qualifying non-residential experience to pursue the Certified General credential.
The practicum is organized around 16 commercial and agricultural assignments that build experience across research, market analysis, highest and best use, approaches to value, reconciliation, and reporting.
Candidates may pursue an intensive six-month full-time track or a 12-month part-time track. Both are designed around the same 1,500-hour experience outcome.
The bridge provides structured non-residential experience. It does not replace Certified General qualifying education, the examination, application, or jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Important: The program includes two required residencies in Greenville, South Carolina. Credential acceptance and reciprocity vary by jurisdiction; candidates should verify requirements with their regulator.
A new path forward
The program creates a structured way for Certified Residential appraisers to complete the non-residential experience component required to pursue Certified General licensure.
