ASA, Embry-Riddle to Host Aircraft Valuation Classes in England, Ireland

by Sharon Reed

The American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) will host their joint Aircraft Valuation Program in Farnborough, England in Nov. 2019 and in Dublin, Ireland in Feb. 2020.

Launched in 2015, the ASA/ERAU Aviation Appraisal program is open to anyone interested in pursuing a professional designation as an Aircraft Appraiser. The program is held annually at ERAU’s main campus in Daytona Beach, FL. It will be also held in England and Ireland this year to meet the demand of prospective aircraft appraisers in that region and those interested in traveling there for the program.

Program participants are required to take a series of 4 courses for professional aircraft appraisers: (ME201ACS – ME204ACS). Successful completion of these courses provides students with the necessary fundamental appraisal coursework for professional accreditation through ASA in the Machinery and Technical Specialties (MTS) discipline with a specialty in aircraft appraisal.

The ASA/ERAU Aircraft Appraisal program courses were developed and are taught by: Dr. Vitaly Guzhva, ERAU, Richard Berkemeier, ASA, David Crick, ASA, and Robert Gallagher, ASA.

“This is an exciting move for ASA and Embry Riddle as we expand our global footprint and monopoly in the Aircraft Appraisal space,” said Berkemeier. “Farnborough and Dublin hold special significance and promise in the Aviation Industry today. Both are centers of excellence and provide a spectacular backdrop and a historical significance for our appraisal education platform.”

“We are offering this program responding to the global demand for aircraft appraiser education,” added Dr. Guzhva. “Both Farnborough and Dublin are aviation centers of the world. Farnborough is best known for its Airshow. Dublin is the world center for aircraft leasing and financing. About 60% of leased commercial aircraft globally are managed from Dublin.”

”We have received many requests to hold this program in Europe and space is limited so we encourage people to register as soon as possible to ensure their spot. Farnborough-Dublin is a one-time offer and no further programs at that site are being considered at this time,” Dr. Guzhva added.

The first two classes in the series will be held in Farnborough, England in November 2019:

• ME201: Introduction to Machinery and Equipment Valuation (Nov. 23-26) 
• ME202: Machinery and Equipment Valuation Methodology (Nov. 27-30)
