PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS

Program "A" Basic Home Inspection training, form reporting, 

This  program contains (8) house inspections and develops early inspection skills and report writing using our exclusive narrative writing development forms. You will develop patterns in writing, discipline and organization for easy efficient reporting.

Inspecting houses requires discipline, and a methodology for inspecting to consistently record the magnitude of problems in a report form. This first program will get you off on the right foot, and  understand what the inspector looks for and reports, and how to put it in writing. Form reports are widely used, but are usually missing the narrative personal opinion of the inspector. We teach how to write the personal opinion. You will be able to go on to the next program which includes the (12) inspection field training modules.

This is an excellent beginning, and all you may want to do for a while. Writing on site written reporting with the client takes 3 1/2 hours. The client receives your time and personal attention, and a easy to read written report. This is  convincing, and  with your careful and relaxed communications, gives you credibility, and the agent doesn't have to explain the report in your absence later at all. An unbeatable combination. 

This plan includes "Classroom" certification only    

Program "B" Basic Home Inspection training, narrative reporting, 

This program contains (8) additional house inspections, developing skills for narrative opinion writing and reporting. This program includes (12) field inspection training modules. 

The written report is not as easy to do, as you may perceive. However with guidance and rigorous practice it can be grasped easily. Every part of the report has a reason for being included. There is a format and method of developing the written opinion and recommendation. Through the writing exercises and preparing a succession of reports you will develop the ability to efficiently do a thorough inspection, take accurate notes, and quickly transcribe them to a clear written report in the form of an opinion and recommendation. This is the best possible method of  informing your client.  

This plan includes "Classroom"  and "Field Certification".
