Delaware Code Title 24 Sec. 4009 – Appraiser trainee; requirements of supervision
(a) Persons, who are presented to the Council by a supervising appraiser for registration as an appraiser trainee, shall provide a statement to the Council that the trainee:
(1) Shall perform only those specific functions, which have been delineated in the supervising appraiser’s statement; and
(2) Shall practice only under the direct supervision of a state-certified appraiser; and
(3) Shall identify themselves to the public as a real estate appraisal trainee; and
