iNACHI, the best!

Now if only I can find all the courses.

Where do I go to find something like" Windows worth looking into " ?

Also how does one find out the proxy schedule on testing.?

[Richard Mangold]

Bob,
I think that you need to contact Pat B., or Jeff M. of our Chicago chapter to arrange state proctored testing. I think there is a small fee.

And they can send the test to your local library if you take an online course.

Bob,

According to my lists, I don't have you down for any course taken on line for state credit (test proctoring). Remember I don't have set schedules for proctoring. I don't "rent" locations and wait for you to take a test online to proctor your test later. You take the test first. You take the online course and then we set up a place and time for a group if possible. One person does not make a room rental fee.. I am the most cost effective proctor in town for inspectors so I don't rent $300 rooms and let them sit empty.

The Illinois state chapter of INACHI handles the proctoring for online courses. Not the Chicago Chapter. They have their own courses / license and testing. I do NOT proctor state chapter tests at Chicago chapter meetings. Two different animals.


I notify people via email or phone call when I get their information. If you don't answer my email then don't expect me to chase you down.. I cannot be responsible for your own stuff.

INACHI is the most powerful Inspection education system out there.. Use it!

Ah yes, the windows course. This is a bit of a challenge / dilemma . Some courses are not available online and were created for class room only due to the time it was initially released and who created it. I believe this was prior to the online availability of education. I will have to check into this one for ya, Bob..

Pat--

How does it work. We complete the classes and then we contact you for protored testing?

Simply goto:
www.nachi.org/education.htm

Find a course you want to take (online).
Check it has been approved by the state of Illinois (right side box) for state credit.

Take it, Pass it.. You should receive a session number.
Your info will be processed by our state chapter admin.

If your in my area, which you are. I will get the data and will be contacting you for a time / location for paper testing. (proctoring)

Fee is $25 bucks for the first test.. add $5 bucks for every additonal test you add to this proctoring event So you take for example structure, that's $25 bucks add roofing then add 5 bucks to that.. $30....Add safety practice..35 bucks....

[Bob Elliott]

I am guessing proctoring will go slow till fall when everyone will be desperate for CE's.

As Pat knows I was one of those that did this last License period and can testify it is a great way to get those needed credits.

It is more flexible and allows you to do it in your own time frame.

Not enough people know about it.
