How the work actually gets done.
54 walkthroughs across 12 topics — UAD 3.6 field by field, and the private-work side of the business. Written by appraisers who have done it, not regulators describing it. Free, because the industry needs it.
No subscription, no credit card, no upsell wall. Free means free.
The mandate is coming. Most appraisers aren't ready.
The free GSE training covers what the form requires. It does not cover what actually happens when you try to complete your first report.
Nov 2, 2026
Mandatory compliance deadline
Only 26% of appraisers feel ready for UAD 3.6. The rest are hoping it will make sense when the time comes. It won't.
94% new fields
Almost nothing maps from legacy
Only 6% of data fields carry over from UAD 2.6. Every report starts from scratch — new structure, new rules, new rejection risks.
$99–$299
CE teaches rules, not the work
CE courses run $99–$299 and teach you the rule. GSE training is free, generic, and written for every stakeholder at once. Neither tells you what happens when you actually file your first UAD 3.6 report.
Two tracks. Twelve topics.
A structured path from “what is UAD 3.6?” to “I just submitted my first report without a revision” — and a second track on building work that has no AMC in it at all.
Track one — UAD 3.6
6 topics · 36 walkthroughs · ~6 hoursWhat UAD 3.6 Actually Changes
The "why" behind the transition. Timeline, what's changing vs. what's not, common misconceptions, and your actual exposure.
The New URAR Field by Field
The most technically dense module. Every changed field — what it is, what it's replacing, what GSEs expect, and common mistakes.
Narrative Writing for the New Format
How to write narratives that satisfy UAD 3.6 — tone, specificity, what to include vs. omit, how to avoid revision triggers.
Workflow Rebuild — Inspection to Submission
How your daily workflow changes — inspection checklists, data collection, software changes, submission sequence.
Surviving the Dual-Format Transition
Operating in both old and new formats simultaneously, communicating with AMCs during ramp-up, building a private work hedge.
8 Things Nobody Told You About UAD 3.6
Practitioner-level insights not covered in GSE training — what appraisers discover by doing UAD 3.6 assignments and making mistakes.
Track two — Private work
6 topics · 18 walkthroughs · ~5 hoursBreaking Into Private Work
The two income streams, the private client landscape, and what changes when the lender goes away.
Assignment Types Deep-Dive
Estate, divorce, tax appeal, PMI removal, pre-listing and litigation — intended user, value standard and effective date for each.
Forms and Report Levels: GPAR vs GSE
General-purpose forms against the 1004, Appraisal vs Restricted Appraisal Report, and the lender boilerplate to purge.
Expert Witness Basics
Qualification and voir dire, Daubert admissibility, deposition against trial, and surviving cross-examination.
Marketing Private Work
Attorneys and their paralegals, CPAs, outreach cadence, attorney-friendly deliverables, and your digital front door.
Pricing, Engagement, and USPAP Discipline
Flat against hourly against retainer, engagement letters that keep you paid, and the workfile discipline behind it.
The private-work track is a working primer — three walkthroughs per topic rather than the five to seven in the UAD track. It is a solid grounding, not the same depth.
Everything you need to get ready
A structured path from “what is UAD 3.6?” to “I just submitted my first report without a revision.”
54 walkthroughs across 12 topics
Two tracks — UAD 3.6 and private work. Read one when you hit the problem it covers, or work straight through. Nothing to enrol in and nothing to finish.
Written by appraisers who have done it
Not a regulator summarising a rulebook. Every walkthrough covers what actually happens in the field — the rejections, the workarounds, the real scenarios — from people who have filed the reports.
Check yourself as you go
222 quick checks with an explanation on every answer. They are there so you can tell whether it landed, not so anyone can grade you — unlimited retakes, no score anybody sees.
Kept current as the rules move
UAD 3.6 is still moving, and so is this. When a requirement changes, the walkthrough it affects changes with it and everyone with an account hears about it.
Frequently asked questions
Be ready before the mandate hits
The appraisers who prepare now will get the assignments. The ones who wait will get the rejections. Start free — it costs you nothing but time.
