2Continuing Education Guidelines
For Sole Assessors and County Directors
The purpose of the Continuing Education program is to ensure that assessors and county directors remain
current in their profession by expanding on their knowledge base of assessment and valuation principles.
Participation is expected to be regular and consistent over time. Sole assessors and county directors must
complete an average of 12 continuing education credits each year.
• Continuing education credits will be awarded for courses, conferences, or seminars which are primarily devoted to
assessment administration or real property valuation.
• Courses or seminars which are not directly related to assessment administration or real property valuation must be
shown to enhance your ability to perform the duties of your position in order to be eligible for continuing education
credits. This type of supplemental training will be reviewed and a determination made on an individual basis.
• The primary emphasis of your studies should be on topics related to assessment administration or real property
valuation. If at least half of your education within any given continuing education year has been related to these topics,
credit for supplemental training will be approved.
• Continuing education credits will be awarded for repeating a course within a three year period only if you are able to
demonstrate that there have been significant changes in the subject matter.
• In order to be eligible for continuing education credit, a conference, course or seminar must be a minimum of two hours
in length. Business meetings or user group sessions are typically not eligible for continuing education credits. Sessions
must be educational rather than informational.
• We strongly recommend that you secure prior approval for continuing education courses by submitting this completed
application, Form RP-3042, for review as much in advance as is possible. We will review your application, and respond
to you within ten business days.
• In circumstances where it is impossible to obtain prior approval for continuing education credit, you may request a
review following the completion of a course. In this case a completed application, Form RP-3042, including a detailed
course outline, should be submitted to Educational Services no more than sixty days after completion of the course or
seminar.
• You must submit proof that the attendance requirements of the sponsoring organization have been satisfied in order for
our office to award continuing education credits for an approved session.
• You are eligible for reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses for courses that are credited toward your
continuing education requirement. Reimbursement is based on the availability of funds. Tuition fees will be reimbursed
at a rate that is usual and reasonable for that type of training. If a particular course has a tuition fee which is excessive,
we reserve the right to approve the session for continuing education credit, and to make adjustments to the amount of
tuition which is reimbursed. Courses which are not credited toward your requirement will not be reimbursed. You may
request that you not receive continuing education credit for any course that you attend, but you will not be eligible to
receive reimbursement if you choose to do so. We will keep a record of the course on your education transcript.
