Anyone else get this email? Are you going to attend? If so tell me what its like. Is this legitimately associated with Citizens? Hopefully some Citizens reps that can answer questions will be there. Or maybe even someone from the OIR.

Tuesday from 2 to 4 is free, but it’s just a Meet & Greet. Wednesday is the 8 hour class for $200, or $175 if you register early. I’d like to find out if they plan any more for North or even Central Florida.
I’d rather have the manual and skip the 8 hours in a classroom. Is this manual from Citizens or Inspection Depot? If from Citizens, does anyone know if it is available online?
So, my question to those who are in the loop, is it worth it. I don’t have Amy problems with how I’m doing UMVI’s now, so would aligning with ID be of any benefit?
Maybe if we are lucky and there is a small response to this request for inspectors, that they will eventually eliminate the program. I know that is a pipe dream, but it is something that we can only hope for.

Excuse me while I puke. Again. Oh good ID has a training program approved by Citizens … OIR wrote a form and ran away. ugh, ughr ralph. Feel better now that I got that out. I have never given a credit (well rarely) for properly braced gable ends I wonder if the citizens reinspectors will be staightening that out?
Inspection Depot appears to be a direct threat to HI’s and InterNACHI and have convinced Citizens you can’t do wind mits unless you have had “training” within last 9 months - not supported by legislation.
not true. that only applies to reinspection outreach program. this has nothing to do with private enterprise. this class is elective. no different than ours or bill york.
