Anyone willing to mentor me or allow a ride along? Ventura county area

Hi All! I am interested in becoming an inspector. This is all brand new to me so I have a lot to learn! I was wondering if anyone locally would allow a ride along and/or mentorship? Thank you!

Claire, contact some CMIs or CPIs within 40 to 50 miles, or farther, to your area and communicate with them. Maybe one, or more, will help you. Some inspectors feel as though they are training their competition by ride-alongs or mentoring or hiring.

Here is the link for CMIs: Find a Certified Master Inspector®

And the link for CPIs: Find Certified Home Inspectors Near You - InterNACHI®

And Mentors: Home Inspector Mentoring - InterNACHI® and InterNACHI® - International Association of Certified Home Inspectors

Also, you may want to take advantage of your Education Team at education@internachi.org for specific questions e.g. https://www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htm and https://www.nachi.org/masterclass.htm . And there is the new training cards app Chris Morrell, our CEO, offers: New training app for home inspectors

And there is the https://www.nachi.org/howto.htm for many other things. And the InterNACHI online education page: How do I navigate the InterNACHI online education page? | InterNACHI FAQ

Welcome to our forum, Claire!..enjoy participating. :smiley:

How new?
How much knowledge, and to what level, have you acquired to date so far?
IMO, you will have a difficult time locating anyone to give you any quality mentoring time until you prove yourself with, at the very minimum, a modicum of basic building science education.
Good luck to you.

Is this still a thing?
