The following advisorary from the President of the (AiSociety™) Appraisers International Society (USA)
Mr Elly Rosen, AiSCV - AVS & GJS, AiSV., (AiSoc), G.G., F.G.A.
Valuation & Appraising needs Qualified "Valuers & Appraisers". Gemology has it's place in the broad "appraisal"
process, but Valuation & Appraising has no substitute for Valuation & Appraisal Science studies.
Professional Gemmologists should not pass on an opportunity to learn why the answer to "valuation and appraisal"
professionalism which s rooted in "valuation" science rather than the incorrectly promulgated "gemmological"
science.
An online, "residence" and "self-study" option program, AiCertification™2014-15 advanced program of education,
testing, certification and referrals based on a comprehensive body of knowledge encompassing professional
valuation and appraisal ethics, principles, procedures, methodology and reporting requirements is now
available for enrolment.
The most advanced program ever offered is now accessible, while being multi-jurisdictional for
application to all free market economies, as well as multi-specialty for all personal property disciplines
and trades.
For folks who may be interested in these offerings of this AISociety's Complimentary
Webinars, more info is on the LinkedIn Events Page at - http://linkd.in/KpqqlN
Perhaps due to prior limited access, much of the gemmological community remains unaware of the simple reality
that to "value" and/or "appraise" one needs "valuation and appraisal" education, testing and certification.
The notion that "gemmological" proficiency somehow translates to "valuation and appraisal" competency has
long since been discredited by fundamental, proven valuation principles and appraisal reality.
