very nice

[jyoung2]

This is going to be a great event - and free. Great marketing education by Nick, and an excellent reason to come see ITA's facilities for future continuing education and other resources.

[jyoung2]

I'll be there! Hope to see all you local and traveling inspectors there! ITA bought 4 cases of beer for the event. I'm sure its going to go quick!

[tneumann]

If I come who will get the other 3 cases of beer?

[dwillis]

Tony, I will bring the beer. With all the RSVP we are getting I think it would be better if I bring a keg.

Nick,

Have ITA remind their Instructors that they are teaching Home Inspection, not selling ASHI.

[Nick Gromicko]

Lewis, why do you say that? Have you had a bad experience with ITA?

Nick,

I just took a 6 day ITA Course in Seattle, followed by a two day HUD/FHA course, after the 6 day I asked for my Free Vacuum or Barbeque, I felt like I'd sat through a Week long Time Share sales meeting.

The last day the instructor questioned the credibility of NACHI Inspectors, this was after he told us that the ASHI SOP was used in more Court Rooms than that of any other Associations SOP, I'd let that slide, but after he questioned my Credibility I explained to the 25 other class members that the ASHI SOP was used in court more often than any other because ASHI Inspectors found themselves there more often.

Then I asked him, as the only member of any Association in the class, just what ASHI could do for a New Inspector except brand them as a Canidate, he had to admit that ASHI could do very little.

The HUD/FHA Class was taught by the Oregon ASHI Chapter President, she told us that in her opinion ASHI was by far the Best, that was o.k. with me, everyone is entitled to their opinion, she's also the one who told me that ASHI is considering dropping the Canidate Status for new Inspectors, and I see that they have Pro-rated their membership fees to attract new members. She thought NACHI was a good Organization, just not as good as ASHI, again her opinion, the opposite of mine.

ITA is a good School, I have over 200 hours of their training under my belt, I was very happy with them untill I faced this ASHI Hard Sell, I do have to say that the Instructors, all except one, were very good, and overall the classes in Seattle were good.

[Nick Gromicko]

Thanks. I'll forward your comments to Kaplan's President. I'm sure he'd want to know that his front line is dissuading NACHI members from adding to Kaplan's bottom line.

I've gotten a lot of complaints about ITA's Seattle instructor. Do you recall his name? We need to find another school in Seattle to send our members to. I'll financially subsidize a new school if anyone wants to start one in Seattle close to the ITA school. We might not be able to shut him up, but we can damn sure kill his attendance at future courses.

Someone email me the Seattle ITA course dates. For fun let's see if we can bombard his area with free training. I like to play smash-mouth football in the mud too. If anyone wants to offer any HI training in Seattle, email me personally: gromicko@msn.com

Nick,

I can't remember the Head Instructors Name , but he was very good, George Rinehart is the one I got into it with over Nachi Credibility, he also the one who didn't really seem to know his subject, Electrical, his classes, Electrical and Marketing were more a "How wonderful George Rinehart iIs", kind of like the guy who gave the Log Home Inspection Class at the Convention.

[Nick Gromicko]

I'll just beat them in the open market up there. That is so much fun for me. I know, some guys like sports, beer, women. This will be more fun than all of that boring stuff. Find me a school in Seattle to make rich.

[tneumann]
