Interpersonal, leadership, conceptual, administrative, and technical competencies domains are the competency groups studied by Tas, LaBrecque, and Clayton in their article Property – Management Competencies for Management Trainees (1996).

How do I go about finding a Certified Reap Estate Appraiser to work under as a Licensed Trainee in Texas?

In a lot of places you just have to get the license from the local authority, easy as the license fee.Where I am, you get a trainee card (for a fee), then you need to acquire 4000 hours (2 years) working under a residential journeyman, during which you have to take 48 hours of classes ($750), then you get an affidavit of hours worked from your employer to file with the state (for a fee).

I'm looking for advice on getting started and, since central FL is a hot spot, hoping someone might know a place that's looking for trainees or new agents with an interest in investing.

I search for trainee and entry-level positions around here all the time and they still require at least some years of work experience.

you can keep it fullWe have one here in PDX were we rent to the Chinese helicopter trainee's  made a 4 bed into 9 bds and 2 to a room  18 folks paying 400 a month...

Re Joel Owens: My full time job is real estate agent and appraisal trainee.

I have already seen on this forum that some people consider appraisal to be more trouble than it is worth as a career, given its 2000 hour trainee period.

This brings in federal trainees and officers from all over the country.

I would say each of you take classes at the same time but go to differe schools and compare information and results, either that or pick the school with the highest trainee pass rate.Good luck, if you have any questions I am happy to answer them.
