this article is a mere drop in the pond of all the problems the appraisal profession faces today.

after awhile, you have to assume that entities such as the AQB are completely out of touch with reality, and have no clue what is going on in the world they are responsible for.

the big problem isnt moving trainees to certified, the problem is getting new people into the profession. this discussion draft only tries to solve an extremely minor problem that is barely visible on the radar.

the bleeding continues . . . . .
