The Appraisal Program oversees the quality and consistency of the SEI's process appraisal technology and encourages its effective use. Its four main functions include communications to the appraisal community; appraisal quality control; training, authorizing, certifying, and providing resources for Lead Appraisers and Team Leaders; and monitoring and reporting appraisal results.

Through the SEI Appraisal Program, the highest quality candidates are selected and trained as Lead Appraisers. Ongoing training and resources are provided for Lead Appraisers.

If you already are a Lead Appraiser, see the resources page for a list of appraiser tools and services. Or, go to the reporting page to find out how to submit your appraisal results.

To verify the roles that an SEI-authorized individual holds, please see the SEI Partner Directory.
