USPAP Requirements by Discipline


ARM members need to successfully complete a 7-hour USPAP Update Course with every new release of USPAP (ie every time a new USPAP version and course is available - usually every two (2) years).  ARM members may take any version of USPAP to meet their continuing education requirements.


BV members need to successfully complete at least seven (7) hours of USPAP course work every five (5) years. If a cycle is missed, BV members must take a 15-Hour BV USPAP course and pass the exam to get back into compliance.  BV members should still obtain new releases of USPAP as they become available and should accommodate any change(s) to their practice methodology accordingly.  BV members must take the BV specific 7-Hour or 15-Hour USPAP courses
