Default Re: I recieved an e-mail from Kaplan today

My understanding is that Kansas doesn't need certification? is that correct?? I don't agree with that. I think we should need to be licensed like any other service providing business. I mean a builder, plumber, electrician have to be licensed to do their job. Besides, when i do become a Home inspector i want to be the best and do the best job im trained to do. That is why im looking for the best training i can get (haven't found out yet). I just want to be the best i can be at what i do. I take pride in anything i do and want to be proud of the career im in. This is something i should have done a long time ago...

IMHO, you're thinking in the right vein but won't find many supporters here for licensing. They want the Cheap 'n Easy "certification" given away or bought here!!

The overall plan here is to get Newbies in the loop as easily and cheaply as possible........and there is no proctoring of online exams.......and no one is "on watch" to monitor completion of all required courses and the yearly CEU's.......it's all on the HONOR SYSTEM!! Just about anyone can be a HI through these processes!!!!

Set your sights higher!!!!

If you want to be the best you can be in the home inspection trade I recommend getting your education from several sources, not one or two. I would start with one that is approved in several States.

Not sure about Kansas, but in Illinois the only one above that is required to have a State license is plumber, and of course home inspectors.
