This program is geared to the appraiser wanting to strengthen his or her proficiency as a generalist and for those who are preparing to take the Household Contents Certification exam. Appraisers with other areas of expertise may also be interested in taking this class to broaden and/or enhance their knowledge base in order to add Household Contents to their repertoire of appraisal skills.

Through peer review led by the instructor, this eight-session online class will cover areas that a generalist appraiser frequently encounters, including aspects of fine art, antiques, prints, carpets, jewelry, wine and collectibles.
The course will also review most areas on the Household Contents Certification Exam.

This course takes place online on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5-8 PM, beginning on Tuesday, July 10 and ending on Thursday, August 2. Participants will use the GoToTraining online platform, and are required to have a working headset- microphone and speaker. A knowledge of Powerpoint is required for assignments and presentations.
