ITA calls it quits... uh... restructures.

[Nick Gromicko]

I'm on ITA's schedule to speak in Denver in January. Perhaps not now. I'm trying to get more information regarding this situation.

Nick,
From what I understand that have a good program. What say you?


PS:
Where can we find the entire quote?

[Nick Gromicko]

Yes. I was scheduled to do a marketing class for them in January. We were the only multi-table booth at their recent convention in Vegas. I hope this doesn't mean the end of Inspection Expo.

Can you provide us with a link for the entire quote?

Wow, another one bites the dust.

Never used them , but options are good.

[Nick Gromicko]

I just put in a call to Scott Guthmann to confirm. If anyone knows Don Norman, call and try to confirm this.

I just spoke with ITA, they're done in February as Nick stated. I asked if any portion of ITA's services, materials, expo or education would still be viable and or available after that. The response was a definitive "No"...

There maybe a problem with all of Kaplan Professional Schools, not just the ITA affiliate.

Gotta love life in the real estate biz...

Hi to all,

I'm not very surprised tp hear this in the current market, I'd imagine that they will intergrate into Kaplan who owns them and offer some classes at existing Kaplan centers, I understand that their owned classrooms have been on the market for quite some time.

Kevin Omalley, Mike Casey et al made a very smart move selling out when they did 3-4 years ago.

10 years ago. Time flies.

How many licensing laws were written dependent upon their 180 hour, 120 hour models?

It is time to start reviewing and repealing some of these laws pushed by these carpetbaggers.

It does remove some of the incentive behind the ASHI push for licensing bills, since their past presidents will no longer be featuring themselves in ITA classrooms.

Good grief is it really that long ago, surely not??

Interestingly Kaplan is the most profitable part of it's parent group The Washington Post group, who's CEO resigned yesterday.

If I remember correctly they sold out in 2002 or 2003. I was at the Expo in 2002 and Kevin was there with his new bride.

Maybe you are right. They were the 2nd biggest school system in the inspection industry.
