Each appraisal candidate attends an extensive training school, conducts supervised field training assignments, and must complete considerable home study before becoming considered for certification.
I-VAN Certified Appraisers cannot be involved in any type of employment that could lead to any potential or actual conflict of interest (i.e. restoration, repair, painting, insuring, claims adjusting, buying/selling, exporting or transporting, of vehicles.)
