- Matchmaker for Trainees & Supervisors
  Below are the links to the actual state appraisal agencies and their requirements for their process to become a trainee. Some states issue a license to become a trainee while others do not. It is important to read each state’s process carefully. If you still have questions feel free to post them to the forum under the appropriate state. We encourage the broader appraisal community to respond to posts from trainees, within their own state(s), to assist those who are struggling to understand their state requirements. If you are a Trainee looking for a Supervisor or a Supervisor looking for a Trainee, you can click the link below to post in the state in which you want to work. Please be specific about the counties in which you plan to work so potential respondents can easily ascertain if it's an appropriate match to their intended market area.
