Press Release: The AISociety -- Appraisers International Society (AIS) -- begins global, online offerings of AiCertification™2015 on February 2, with live, AiResidence sessions of its five course series of Valuation
Appraisal to AIStandard v4.0 for gems, jewelry, watches and other personal property.
Registration information is available at http://www.aisociety.com/aicertify/gems-and-jewelry/
AIS's founder and president, Elly Rosen, (AiSCV AVS-GJV, FGA, GG,) is widely recognized as the pioneer of
professional, personal property valuation and appraisal education, testing, certification and referrals.
He headed up the first professional personality program ever offered from its start in 1982, serving as
primary developer and instructor for the first, formative development decade of 1982 to 1993.
Since 2011, advanced, global, multi-specialty AIS Accredited International Valuers from seven countries, on
four continents worked with Rosen in twice weekly live, audio-video sessions in AiCertification's state-of-the-art online classroom. All told, over 3,000 hours were devoted to development of the AISociety’s live,
online global Valuation AIStandard™, advancing 2010's Version-3 to 2015's Version-4.
AiGovernance chair Bill Korst (AiSCV AVS-GJV, GG) of Minneapolis, Minnesota, who is a gem dealer and appraiser,
said, “AIS educational programs are especially dedicated to those who wish to
take valuation and related appraisal services to a whole new level. The AIS advanced program leads the
way to get you to the top of the valuation and appraisal profession for all valuation and appraisal needs,
in all free market economies and global jurisdictions. Though I was educated, tested and certified as an
appraiser through all of the major appraisal organizations since 1981, no program out there comes close
to what is offered in the 250-classroom hours of the five course, Triple-Crown Diploma programs of AIS.”
AiGovernor and gems and jewelry division chair Steve Crout, (AISCV AVS-GJV, FGA, Dg,) who is past president
of the Jewellers & Watchmakers of New Zealand, said, “The AiS program is at the pinnacle of gems and
jewelry valuation worldwide and is applicable to global financial and accounting valuation procedures.”
The AISociety teaches the distinct differences between valuation and gemology based “appraising,”
clarifying their distinct roles as separate disciplines. AiGovernance executive committee chair Dennis
Blacklaws (AiSCV AVS-GJV, GG), who also serves as AiGovernor for the New Zealand AiCore, said,
“My experience with appraisal organizations going back many years was based on gemology. It was
through AIS’ comprehensive program that my eyes were opened to valuation professionalism rooted in
the principles and applied methodology of the AiCode & AIStandard.”
AiGovernor for Europe, Paula Elena Necula, (AiSV), who is an AIS accredited international valuer and gems and
jewelry candidate, said, “The AiCode of ethical conduct and AIStandards of Practice™,
comprehensive educational program, dynamic global participation, support and interaction by peers,
affinity professionals and representatives of the client community have all come together in the AISociety
to provide a true professional bridge between Europe and other regions of the world.”
AiGovernor for Australia, Di Walker, (AiSCV AVS-GJV, DipDT, FGAA, AdvDipETJ) from Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia, said, “The AiCertification program has given me the confidence to offer
ethical valuation and value related appraisal services in my city and country. The comprehensive and
advanced content of AISociety courses exceeded my expectations and provided answers to many
questions otherwise unanswered by other valuation programs. I am proud to be a part of such a diverse
group of global professionals."
AiGovernor and residential contents division chair Randeen Cummings (AiSCV-AVS), of Eugene, Oregon who is an appraiser with 30-plus years of experience with antiques, collectibles, art, estate jewelry and
residential contents, said, “In my experience with three decades of courses, the depth of professional
appraisal instruction in AIS courses is the best available, with principles applicable to all personal
property.”
