Inspection Education & Training This is a general forum for inspectors to discuss their educational experience, and to ask questions of InterNACHI's Education Committee. This forum is dedicated to the memory of InterNACHI member and educator Gerry Beaumont. Gerry was an avid proponent of education for inspectors and will be sorely missed.

Because I am real good.......this is the problem with Chapter Events...people get spoiled in the past and NICK ends up picking up the TAB for everything.....in order to make it work you have to pay so that educators can get paid, seminar events locations can get paid for, food at the event can get paid for, the organizer can get paid for their time....flights have to be paid for, hotel rooms have to be paid for.....

Do you realize the value......if you are lost to electrical lets say....in 8 hours you will be LESS lost......or you can fumble around for 2-3 years to learn the items needed to NOT make a mistake.

Why not browse around and see that MANY other organizations charge between $895.00 and up for 2 day sessions.....and even more for less information.

Why do you charge $ 250.00 to $ 300.00 for an inspection.....why not charge less.....are you WORTH $ 250.00 or 300.00...or more......

As with my classes...if you already KNOW it all....dont attend as I have nothing to teach you....but if you want to know electrical issued better, be able to ask questions and get answers, understand the basics of electrical applications as it pertains to the inspection industry....and get a good value for the dollar in education and CE credits for NACHI and other orgs....then you will attend....

We do not twist anyones arm......I say view my educational information I have posted on the boards, read the posts and go back a bit in my post history....if you determine I am full of BS and do not know what I am speaking about then by all means please do not attend the seminars....that actually goes for anyone as each seminar has gotten better and better and I ensure you enjoy it....I make it FUN.....but for someone like Mr. Pope lets say......might be a waste of his money because the man is SPOT ON...........it would probably bore him to death but I guarantee he would learn something as anyone else would.....

Hope this helps....again........I do not consider myself a "Vendor"...I offer education and agreed to speak for Mr. Raush around the country and bring my flavor of training...in the end if $ 149.00 breaks your bank account....I would not attend....and just post questions on here....either way I answer questions....

Also...look around...Mold 2 day classes for $ 395.00, and so on.....8 hours of electrical awareness and down to earth training, buffet lunch provided, free give-a-ways and the chance to MEET me and LOVE me....Priceless !

BTW.....Putting 45-50 people in a room is agreesive....chances are in many venues that would be pushing it because from what I have seen it is tough for chapters to get 45-50 people at a meeting much less an 8 hour training event but Tom has a vision....he has passion and wants to make it great....is their a hope for a profit..sure...these things take time out of ones life.......someone has every right to profit from it......instead of NICK and NACHI losing money from it.

NICK is very focused on education...I gather that alot...but have no noticed the risk and reward policy....while education is good...NACHI should not have to fit the bill for this....chapters that hold educational events should charge for the event and keep chapter meetings just that........chapter meetings.....the only thing NCE is doing is providing an outlet for education and while I do not agree in the name.......I would like to see more NACHI, ASHI and NAHI guys attend....open it up in the spirit of good will.....and so on.......but again I am simply an educator....
see you on Feb 22nd
