Course Approval

PURPOSE: This rule sets the criteria for course approval. (1) No course or program for continuing education credit shall be announced or advertised until it is approved by the commission for credit. (2) All applications for course approval shall be submitted by the course provider at least ninety (90) days prior to the date the course is expected to be offered. Applications shall be submitted on a form prescribed by the Missouri Real Estate Appraisers Commission and shall be accompanied by the required fee for course approval. The commission will respond in writing to all requests for course approval within sixty (60) days of receipt of a properly completed application. The commission will either assign a course number or other identification to a course when it is approved or will notify the course provider of the grounds for the course not being approved, as provided in section (4) of this rule. (3) Course approval will be for the duration of the certificate or license period for which approval is sought. (4) If the commission determines that a proposed course does not meet prescribed standards or if the proposed course does not adequately reflect and present current real estate appraisal knowledge toward the goal of public protection and service, notice in writing specifying the deficiencies will be provided to the course provider. (5) Instructors shall teach all courses in close adherence to the outline on file with the commission. In the event a substantive change is proposed, the course provider shall file a revised course outline at least thirty (30) days in advance of the scheduled course offering. Approval in writing from the commission shall be received prior to implementation of any substantive course change.
