We have recently remodeled our EandM website and the page that

[size=4]You will be sent to our new site momentarily. [/size]If not, the following link will take you there - new EandM website.
If you look under this post there are a bunch of NACHI sites that should give you a pile of help.

Adam…If you’ve already taken the INACHI exam a few times, then you are probably aware of where you are weak. Look at all of the links that have been provided to you by the members, go to the area’s you are weak in and take as many of the free courses as you can. When you feel comfortable or confident your problem area’s, take the INACHI exam and again. Take it as many times as you need to. I find that it’s a good idea to take the test at least once a month once you’ve passed it. In 5 years, I’ve never had the same test twice, which is great. I passed the test the first time around, but I identified some area’s of concern with HVAC (which I kinda figured) so that is where I spend a lot of time.
Keep in mind that you will never know everything, but what you don’t know, some-one on this forum will. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, there is a lot of combined knowledge on this BB, use it.

Just my 2 cents + GST

Adam,

Not to be discouraging but, 30 days is probably not near enough time to be ready. I was a builder for 25+ years, took a 120 hour class, studied ICC codes for 4 months to get ICC certified, Passed all the Nachi exams and read every post on this board every day for 5 months and still don’t scratch the surface of what the people on this board know and still make many mistakes or overlook many things during inspections. I’ve been doing this my whole life and I’m still not knowledgeable enough.

Take every free class you can find. Read every post on every forum you can find. If you know or could seek out a mentor to ride along with and learn from your chances of success will grow exponentially. You will need to know and understand the working of hundreds if not thousands of components in a home and the signs and clues that may indicate they are not functioning properly. And that doesn’t even count knowledge of business, marketing, corporate structure, taxes, computers, web design, writing and insurance. Experience in law and trials may come later.

That is of course, unless you want to be a 30 min inspection wonder and kiss up to bad agents (I said bad agents. There are many good ones) your whole career. Then damn the client full speed ahead.

This is just my two cents worth. Other opinions may very.

By the way, I want to take this time to thank all the people on this board for sharing their knowledge and opinions. Though I haven’t posted much, the knowledge and information has been invaluable to me. Thanks all.

Very well written post.

yea you think on my same level, i have hopefully found someone i can learn off of already in the industry, this is actually the 2nd course i ordered, and have been reading these posts for almost 3 months, so i am very much on the same page… i wish i had as much experience as some of the people on this board, but i dont, and thats fine, i was in the construction industry for a=bout 5 yrs and still going, have owned a few companies theat flopped, but stilll keep pushing along… and thats one of the best things about this industry is that there is always more to learn and know… i hate jobs where you just cant excell yourself anymore and remain stagnant… beleive me im all about the money, but not willing to short myself on the knowledge, and thats why i try to drop a post a day and read as many as possible… thanks tho… i love hearing what people had to go throu, another learning tool to get me prepared for my journey

thanks all

Then you’ll really love this career (it is my 4th - retired twice and the third still do at times) it is never the same. Even if you get 2 houses exactly alike, they are always different. Good Luck.

Also, scroll down to the bottom of the home page of www.nachi.org Click on the image to enlarge. Then click your own refresh button to go to the next image. 2,500 in all. Very educational.

Roy,

Tell me what I should buy to be able to make those calls!!

I bought a good Mike and ear phones cost about $25.00 . I paid for time of $14;00 .This is so If I call Germany to a land line I have money in the Bank to use at about 2 cents a minute. So far I have only talked via the INTERNET no cost. Works not bad and you can be on the net at the same time .
This should answer all your questions . I do have high speed do not know how well it works on Dial up.
Last time I was talking to Bill Mullen he said a friend of his called him from Turkey no charge and sounded good . All you need is my email address to call set up is simple even I was able to do it.

Adam,
One more thing that can help, go to Scott’s chapter meetings. http://pa.nachi.org/greaterphiladelphia get to know other inspectors, build some camaraderie and you’ll find more guys willing to help you than you can handle!

Adam, if you rush to do an inspection and get it wrong, it has the potential to cost you more than you could earn on a thousand inspections. Be ready, but be more careful. If you fail the test, it only affects you, however, if you fail an inspection, it can affect many. Don’t rush it. Ken
