Hi,

I’m looking for a mentor in the Philadelphia, PA area(Souderton to be exact so Montgomery and Bucks counties are the most convenient). I’ve already passed the InterNACHI courses and overall exam. My situation is a bit unique in that I am already employed full time and looking to be an inspector part time. I do have availability during the week. Right now, Monday’s and Friday’s are consistently open for me. If anyone would be willing to take me on, please let me know.

Thanks,

Derek LeBlanc

Derek, contact some CMIs or CPIs within 40 to 50 miles, or closer, 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®](https://certifiedmasterinspector.org/members)

And the link for CPIs: [Find Certified Home Inspectors Near You - InterNACHI®](https://www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors)

And Mentors: [https://www.nachi.org/mentoring](https://www.nachi.org/mentoring) and [https://www.nachi.org/my/mentoring](https://www.nachi.org/my/mentoring)

Also, you may want to take advantage of your Education Team at [education@internachi.org](mailto:education@internachi.org) for specific questions e.g. [15 Steps to Become a Successful Home Inspector - InterNACHI®](https://www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htm) and [InterNACHI® Master Class for Home Inspectors](https://www.nachi.org/masterclass.htm) .
