Marcel, email me. I'll see if I can get you one. Basically, anyone (such as you) without a website was denied the scholarship. You should set up your free website in 5 seconds here www.inspectorpages.com

If you don't like the quicky website at www.inspectorpages.com, we have a free 1,000 page, fuly editable website for you too at www.inspectorpages2.com

www.inspectorpages2.com takes a bit more work than www.inspectorpages.com which only needs your InterNACHI username and password.

Both come with free hosting forever.

You can set both of them up if you like.


What has your association done for you today?

I'm thinking websites have nothing to do with it.

Marcel, tell me when you've added your new website to all our search engines from www.nachi.org/profileintro.htm

NIFAST execs are flying in tomorrow night to meet with me again, I'll buy them lunch on Wednesday and when they offer to pitch in, I'll just tell them "I got it, however... I have this fella Marcel Cyr who really needs a scholarship."

Nick, once we are certified does NIFAST contact us for those college inspections? And am I correct in understanding the dorms/apts inspections won't occur until 2011?

Sorry, Nick. I have been working on this licensing thing and missed the NIFAST video until this afternoon. I have e-mailed them to take the course. Are there any scholarships left? They are supposed to call me tomorrow. Sounds like a good program. Perhaps one like it on safety. With issues nationwide on college campuses, may be another business opportunity. Insurance companies may have their ears listening.

Thanks, I did not know that websites had something to do with it when I filled out the application. It was just coincidence that I was actually getting one in the interim.

Hey Nick, what happened to:
Yes, they are accepting newer inspectors. Most who have applied should get a full scholarship.

They asked me for advice on how to weed out the scholarship awards. They wanted serious inspectors. I told them that the only advice that I could give was to choose applicants who had dedicated inspection websites... and to check each website to make sure it wasn't displaying any known diploma mill logos.

I'm meeting with them on Wednesday and I'll report back here as to the success of this program. If our members start getting off-campus housing inspections and start making money with it, I'll negotiate us a deal to get us all trained and in.

I'd like to hear from those who have begun the free training first. I'm asking that the first round of students report back here on this message board.

Do not feel too bad, I did not get one either. We must be too much in the middle of the state. Probably an inspector near St. Louis got the other scholarship such as Terry. I do not understand how just two inspectors are going to cover the whole state anyway, they are going to do a lot of windshield time. Oh well, I guess I am back to to expanding my mold and commercial inspections. Whenever you get to Jefferson City give me a call, I will try to send some inspections your way. I just want the mold work at the Lake, the houses are too big of a POS for me to want to inspect many of them. The Lake (your) area has to have the worst construction in Missouri. Sad but true.
