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 are encouraged to take a 15-Hour USPAP Course and pass the exam to get back into compliance; however, a 7-Hour USPAP Update Course is also acceptable.  BV members should always obtain new releases of USPAP as they become available and should accommodate any change(s) to their practice methodology accordingly.  ASA strongly encourages BV members take the BV specific 7-Hour or 15-Hour USPAP Courses.
