Scope before template

The work is structured around the outcome it must support.

01

Designed for active CR appraisers

The bridge is for active Certified Residential appraisers who need qualifying non-residential experience to pursue the Certified General credential.

  • Active Certified Residential credential
  • Commitment to commercial and agricultural work
  • Readiness for an intensive structured program
02

Sixteen real-world assignments

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.

  • Commercial assignments
  • Agricultural assignments
  • Progressive complexity and review
03

Two pace options

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.

  • Six months at approximately 56 hours per week
  • Twelve months at approximately 28 hours per week
  • Two required three-day Greenville residencies
04

Experience—not qualifying education

The bridge provides structured non-residential experience. It does not replace Certified General qualifying education, the examination, application, or jurisdiction-specific requirements.

  • CG qualifying education remains separate
  • No partial credit for incomplete participation
  • Verify home-jurisdiction 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 first approved practicum of its kind to support the CR-to-CG experience gap.

The program creates a structured way for Certified Residential appraisers to complete the non-residential experience component required to pursue Certified General licensure.
