Default Need some input...

I got called from Environmental Service Professionals, Inc.

They want to train Home Inspectors and shoot them some business in Enviromental Inspections. They Market and book. If trained you can call yourself a "Certified Enviromental Home Inspector" or CEHI.

Has anyone heard of them?

I posted on members only board with no joy yet. Thought I would try this one as well.
Here is a copy of the e-mail they sent me.

I am starting to think that no one wants to talk environmental today.

sounds to me like someone wanting you to do all of the work and them get all of the money????

You have to much time left to even wear a short timers chain or do they still do that.

David
I just checked out their website and for $3.995 you can be certified in everything from mold to radon and they will give you the tools and all if you use their service

I am still trying to get more info. If I get the training and the equipment couldn't I add these services to my inspections as an ancillary service and not worry about them calling. These are some questions I will be asking when they call back.
Do you think that is a steep price for the training and the equipment?

They don't give us short timer chains anymore. In fact I'm about to ship over to another sea tour to finish out my career. They gotta have one last bite of my ***** before they will let me retire. But thats O.K. we are at war and I am proud to serve my country.
