Somebody wake me up when being able to tell temp differences costs less in training then the darn camera.
Are there not any descent courses not soaking you guys ?
No wonder you guys are like Scientology followers after such a giant ,overpriced ,education outlay of hard earned cash.
I would defiantly be converted my self, if dumping my savings into it.
So what’s holding you back Bob?
Hey if you can charge $45 for a generic wrist strap, $75 for a generic lens cap or $325 for a Hardigg Storm case with a molded Styrofoam liner and painted logo http://www.tequipment.net/FlirPriceList.html, why shouldn’t you expect to be able to gouge big money for training too?
Price margins in this industry are insane. Makes you wonder just how much a point and shoot digital would cost you if these companies were your only choice.
They are not Wal-Mart.

Just wait Wal -mart will be giving out courses soon.
Just hang out by the electronic section . lol
Yea, so true! 
By the way; Level III consultant pay scale is $1,111./day.
I had 2 Level III’s teaching my classes and another evaluating the field projects.
Add transportation, lodging, per diem, conference room, meals for students…
Add overhead and it works out about what you try to get for a Home Inspection.
Do you have a clue what Flir pays in Real Estate Taxes in Massachusetts?
Indeed…
Pay for Wal-Mart training, get Wal-Mart training no matter how discipline specific the “training” may be… 
$1695 for 4 days is an expensive education? My wife’s is $1923 per week, every week (34 weeks out of the year) for the next 4 years. Plus the $384 per week she already paid per week, every year for the 4 years prior. Even after all of that, she will make less per year than some home inspectors I know.

The Snell Group is highly respected and so are so busy with demand for courses, their biggest challenge is to keep up with the demand. I have taken the Level I course and I will take Level II. Without exception, every single student taking the class rated the class and the instructor very high and everyone said they would be back for Level II.
Their exams are proctored and you can’t slide by. You need a 70% average and no one test can be below 70%. My company will continue to sponsor Snell Level I/II classes. It is a total win-win for my company and my customers.
I’m taking the Snell class this Monday in Toronto. All I’ve heard is positive things about them.
