(ii)

(A) evidence that the continuing education requirements listed in Subsection (2)(b) have been completed; or

(h) A supervising appraiser may count an AQB-approved four-hour supervisor and trainee course toward the continuing education requirement of Subsection (2)(b)(ii)(A) during any renewal cycle in which the appraiser completes the course.

(3)
