So far this year, as part of their routine continuing education, ISTAT Certified Appraisers have participated in the Appraiser Updates with the following OEMs: Airbus, ATR, Boeing, CFM, GE and Rolls-Royce. These well-attended sessions are highly valuable to the ISTAT Appraisers’ Program as they allow for a greater dialogue with stakeholders and facilitates a direct pipeline of valuable updates and materials to ensure Certified Appraisers are properly educated on aircraft and engine types and variants.

As part of ISTAT EMEA, the ISTAT Appraisers' Program will again offer pre-conference ISTAT Appraising – An Introduction program (formerly Appraising 101) for those interested in the practice of appraising or who would just like to know more about appraisals and what they mean. Plan to attend this event Sunday, 23 September from 15:30 – 17:00 in Rokoska – Mezzanine Level at the Hilton Prague. The scheduled presenters are Senior Appraisers David Tokoph of mba and Mark Calver of Aergen.

This complimentary session features an inside look at the ISTAT Appraisers' Program, aircraft appraisal fundamentals and steps to becoming an appraiser.
