Adam …

Don’t know that particular school, BUT when getting licensed in Texas your best bet is a Texas school … Texas has rules that do NOT exist anywhere else in the inspection world, LIKE their promulgated inspection report format AND being under the Texas Real Estate Commission.

Those items were the in legislative hearings in at least 7-9 other states when licensing raised its dirty head in those states

I thought you used to teach and inspect in Texas? If so you should be aware of the TREC list of approved education providers which has been on their site ever since I was licensed many, many moons ago. The school is listed right on that page.

This place is funny for sure. Training is going well and already have 3 inspections done. I’m really liking this career change!

Are those 3 TREC required and supervised ride alongs?

It’s a real fun career to be in! Some helpful tips for you.

• If these are the training ride alongs of actual inspections get a copy of the final report. Check the accuracy of all of it not only what was found and reported but also the construction of the report and placement of items. Doing this will help tremendously to learn even more since you will expose yourself to more information.
• Take a pocket camera with you. If see a suspected issue that the trainer passes up take a pic, notes if needed, and then you check it out. Again you’ll expose yourself to lots of important information that way. If you find it should be reported let your trainer know as maybe they just missed it for some legitimate reason.
• Buy yourself a copy of the most recent and full International Residential Code. Read through it and think how it might apply to inspections. Again you’ll find out how much more you’ll learn. BTW construction techniques are not created from the building codes. Instead the building codes are a result of good and safe construction techniques. IF you read the codes you will see how many times they are actually covertly referred to for proper inspecting.

What in Gods name happened here! This is worse than Neighborhood facebook groups with stay at home mommies arguing whose kid is more autistic!

Relax folks, I’m just here to start a new journey, one I can be proud of…

oh… and lets not forget…LOL!!!

You made a great career choice. It is a trade that is always needed, can’t be computerized, and gets better the longer you do it. Have fun with it too, because it is an interesting job every day

@belliott

Hopefully something I can take you to court for .
Did you mention the report sample was done on a freebie while you were out of work with no jobs and had tons of time ?

Just asking but have you made 10 inspections yet ?

Second question is are you still false advertising you won best Inspection report of Internachi when it was actually just the crappy software you use competition.

Every Home Inspector Pro user has a better looking report than yours.

It must suck to be you.

not sure yet since I’m still trying to figure out what all the paperwork is. The ride alongs were along with the school with a few other classmates so I’m assuming they are credited but of course I will check with the instructor to confirm
