RESTON, Va. – Beginning this spring, the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) will offer Principles of Valuation classes taught by accredited senior appraiser members of the AmericanSociety of Appraisers (ASA).

The four-part series of ASA courses are designed for prospective personal property appraisers. The classes focus upon valuation theory and methods that are common to many areas of expertise. These classes are of interest not only to those working with antiques and design but also fine art, vintage automobiles, books & manuscripts, oriental carpets and more. The Principles of Valuation course of study offers instruction about valuation as well as an opportunity to meet and collaborate with appraisers from many fields.

“ASA courses in personal property valuation support the goal of offering professionals the knowledge they need to advance their careers and broaden their skills,” said Sandra J. Tropper, ASA. “We are delighted to begin ASA appraisal studies classes at the E. 70th Street campus of NYSID’s Institute for Continuing & Professional Studies.”

Tropper, who is the current education chair for the Society’s personal property discipline, says: “We look forward to working with NYSID to help prospective and current appraisers meet increasingly rigorous IRS qualification standards.”

The NYSID spring 2014 schedule offers the first of four intensive classes to be held April 10-13, 2014.
