Needed! Wind Mitigation Certification For Fl

[jweller]

I'm a FL Certified Residential Contractor and InterNACHI Inspector. I want to become a Certified Wind Mitigation Inspector for Florida. I have received quite a few calls for this service and would like to become certified ASAP. Does anyone have any input for me? I have heard of a 4 hour class if you are already a Certified Residential Contractor which I am, up to an 8 hour course costing $400.00. I can't seem to find any real answers on the FL web sites.

Thanks in advance to all,

Jim

if you are a fl cert contractor you can sign the wind miti form without any othrt credentials. The form you will need to fill out is the http://www.floir.com/pdf/OIR-B1-1802.pdf . You must have a CRC,CBC,CGC, or be a licensed architect or engineer in the state of fl.no additional certifications are needed

The last time I checked the MySafeFloridaHome website, the State is no longer certifying Wind Mitigation Inspectors as of June 2009. Has this policy changed? One of my inspectors and I took the course last year and passed the test, but were told that we could not get a certificate because of this new policy. If the State is still certifying people, where should I go to get the certificate number? Thanks!
