Joe,
I like you and support what you are trying to do, but who in the hell are you to decide who is qualified or not? The blanket statement you made here is nothing short of outrageous.
As a trainer for this organization, you should be careful how you phrase things, and lumping inspector into a category. This is especially true when you make a statement, then charge substantial fees for inspectors to come to the seminar you are conducting.
It's a self-serving statement, and I believe you owe a whole lot of inspectors an apology.

Why is it that every time I look at this BB that some person is getting his feelings hurt or is trying to sell me something? I for one am tired of all the self serving people that use this BB to sell me things at a “NACHI discount”, only to find out it’s really not much of a discount at all. Dave Bush not included in this statement. Anyway this BB may be the death of NACHI if things continue the way there are going.

I have no idea what Mr. Tedesco is charging NACHI for his seminars ,but I do know how much was paid for the NTT course I attended. $ 995.00 per person + hotel room 2 days $70 a day + meals + travel+ rental car for a total of around $1400.00 per person!!
This was in 1997
What is Joes price ?
I realize the average HI does not really need all the info provided in a 2 day seminar, as a lot of it deals with high voltage industrial situations, but I think anyone that deals with any electrical system including a visual inspection of panels, disconnects etc. should be made aware of the potential hazards relating to electrical systems and how to adequately protect themselves from those hazards.

I don’t fear electricity. I respect it.
Honestly, safety refreshers are good. However, I myself would just like to see information on how electricity works from basic thru advanced.
That's primarily why I come to this board. Everything I read is a learning experience in one aspect or another.
Deflated ego threads, while giving me an education on the type of personality someone is, is not the type of education I'm really looking for.

Maybe I should revise my statement to say “how electrical systems work”. (wiring, size, type, breakers, fuses, feeders, panelboards, subpanels, loads, etc.)
