Hello everyone, I recently completed my course with ICA for Florida and took the FABA exam but failed it. I’m currently taking courses through Inter NACHI to prepare to take the exam again. I’m currently staying in Washington for the summer with my wife and her family. I’m reaching out to see if any inspectors would give me the opportunity to do some ride alongs this summer. I’m currently Staying in the Edmonds area and would be willing to drive up to a hour.
Welcome to the forum, Christopher. Enjoy!!
Welcome Christopher!
I’m sure Larry Kage @lkage will come along soon to give you some very helpful advice.
Christopher, 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®
And the link for CPIs: Find Certified Home Inspectors Near You - InterNACHI®
And Mentors: Home Inspector Mentoring - InterNACHI® and https://www.nachi.org/my/mentoring
Also, you may want to take advantage of your Education Team at education@internachi.org for specific questions e.g. 15 Steps to Become a Successful Home Inspector - InterNACHI® and https://www.nachi.org/masterclass.htm .
And there is the https://www.nachi.org/howto.htm for many other things.
Thank you! I will do that.
