| "I think the one of the greatest experiences has been going through the courses at the Appraisal Institute and learning from very knowledgeable and professional instructors who really have a passion for teaching and have extremely knowledgeable insight on the many of the changes that are constantly taking place with the appraisal industry." | | - Andrea Zable /2006 | | "The Chicago Chapter of the Appraisal Institute has been absolutely invaluable in my career development as a commercial appraiser here in Chicago. Not only have Melissa and L.A. graciously answered all of my many questions about various licensing, class and continuing education requirements, but the comfortable atmosphere and the knowledgeable, friendly instructional staff combine to create a wonderful learning environment. Whether I look at the contacts I have made, or the knowledge I have gained from the materials, instructors and fellow students that I have been able to apply to my everyday appraisal work, I have definitely benefited from taking my appraisal classes at the CCAI." | | - Jason M. Witler, Walden-Marling, Inc. /2006 | | "The Chicago Chapter does a phenomenal job with education. I have taken classes at other Chicago-area education providers and the Chicago Chapter is far superior in terms of the instructors, facilities, and staff. The class offerings are extensive. The instructors are professional, knowledgeable, and engaging. LA and Melissa are extremely professional and organized, so the classes run smoothly. I would highly recommend taking classes at the Chicago Chapter; you’ll have an excellent experience." | | - Sara Chambers, PF Appraisals Inc. /2006 | | "I think the Appraisal Institute Chicago Chapter staff is a good source for getting around Chicago. Not only that, but they also are great with assisting out-of-town course takers in getting the adequate hotel accommodations during their stay in Chicago. They are a good source for finding out what courses one needs to take in order to get his/her license and/or designation. They also make the pupils feel very welcome, especially since they put in the extra effort to provide everyone with beverages and breakfast snacks every morning during class." | | - Sunny J. Reyna, Integra Realty Resources /2006 | | "Having recently completed the State Associate License courses (Basic Principles, Basic Procedures, and 15 hour USPAP) thru the Chicago Chapter, I was thoroughly impressed by the wonderful organization and hospitality shown by the CCAI as a whole.As a newcomer to the world of appraising, each course I completed taught me not only the basics, but many of the practical things that I need to know to get me started in the right direction. The classes were very informative and well structured. I especially enjoyed how each morning class would start off on a great note with a delicious free breakfast.All of the instructors that I have met have been extremely pleasant, and very informative on the course material presented. The instructors made the course material easy to follow and understand. The classrooms are also very clean, spacious and provide a good learning environment.The office staff for the Chicago Chapter was incredibly informative, friendly and always eager to help. I like knowing that I can always depend on the staff to answer my questions and help guide me.After completing the courses, I now feel that I have a better grasp and understanding of real estate appraising, and I can go out in the real world prepared." | | - Alexandra Meade /2006 |
