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.

Default Log Home course ties into conventional home inspection

As an inspector, certain areas of log homes require more attention than conventional homes, but the two share quite a few properties crucial to both. Take the log home course and test your complete abilities as an inspector.

Learn details of the wood decay process and how mold fungi operate. What's true for wood is true in not only logs, but studs and beams.

This course has good information on foundations and soil movement, WDI and more. Way more. Even if you don't look at log homes, go right to the final exam and take it. You'll be examined on a wide range of inspection-related topics many of which are basic and crucial to anyone in the home inspection business.

Here's a place to find out if you've got what it takes to safely inspect homes at no risk to you or your business. Find your weak areas and improve them. Become a better inspector without having to pay!

If you find a better deal than this... don't bother to tell anyone. You're wrong.

And please... please, please...

If you ever find a better deal than this free course, the first of it's kind, comprehensive, designed to protect inspectors, exhaustively researched and given up for free... call me so I can take it.

I'd give you my number, but you'll never need it. -Kenton

(OK you'll get it below but you still won't need it)

Barry, geezes, while Kenton was busting his chops putting this Course together and doing an exellent job at it like his Green Course, You and RR are out on a party and can't drive home.

Kenton.......
Very informative course. I'll have to do it again though since I paid more attention to looking for errors than I did the course itself. Now that I'm done emailing you, mebee I can retain something. I scored 85 on the exam, although it's a pass, it's just not good enough for me. High 90's or nuttin!
