You’ll probably get the answer at this link provided by our research department.

You need to go through specific appraiser’s courses mandated by the state you live in. Then pass the state exam and get licensed. Then you may sign up with a certified appraiser in that state. Look under the yellow page under real estate schools and you will find it. You an go to the web and search as well.

Each state is different. First if I were you I would familarize myself with the state requirements for becoming a licensed or certified appraiser. After that the state appraisal board will be able to inform you of what schools are approved to provide credit in your state. Depending on your state requirements you may be required to obtain a appraiser trainee license. Again check with your state appraisal board. Once you get your education out of they way you have to find an appraiser that will be your mentor. This is the hard part. Alot of appraisers will only hire family or friends, and now that the real estate market is slowing they have less business and less of a need for trainees. In some states you don’t have to have any of your education requirements to become a trainee but it should help when looking for a job. It shows potential employers that you are serious and are willing to do what it takes to become an appraiser.
Good luck

Above is a list of appraisal licensing websites listed by state.
These links are good and many show how to get licensed, where to go for education, etc. A good example if your state’s website is not informative is the link below for Illinois.
Ideally an existing appraiser would take you under his wing as an apprentice, but the schools will have a lot of good information too.
