General licensing poll

[Zoe Fackler]

I may be and am probably very wrong - so be gentlel:
but when I contacted the State of Florida last year concerning teaching Home Inspection courses - I was told that came under Adult Education and Specialty classes and that it does not require a degree in education.

Also lets say 126 hours of CE per year and a personality check by Realtors (because we're around so many - who better to determine if we're going to be satisfactory to them or not).

I think that covers my thoughts on this.

Dan, I hate to correct you but you seem to have forgotten the $10 million E&O requirement or the $1 million cash bond

dang.. this is an interesting poll.
Less than 1/ 2 of the nachi members agree that inspectors should be held accountable to our paying customers in many ways...

Gerry -

You're right, I forgot that part. Sorry, was trying one of RR's marqueritas and lost my head for awhile. Darn - RR was right - enough marqueritas really make agents look more tolerable.

NO, no they don't
