WASHINGTON STATE

UNIVERSITY

World Class.

Face to Face.

The new Structural Pest Management Research and
Demonstration Facilityis part of the Washington State University
PuyallupResearchand Extension Center's commitment to protecting
the environment and human health. It is the only facilityof its kind in
the western United States and provides hands-on training for
structural pest inspectors and management professionals to learn
about pest problem identification and mitigation.
The facilitywas constructed and financed by a successful
collaboration and partnership between Washington State University,
state and local agencies, and Puget Sound businesses. It will provide
lasting benefits to Washington citizens, protecting investments in
buildings and homes, improving structural safety and reducing
impacts on water quality as better home inspections minimize the
need for pesticide use.

Here's a link for those Washington Inspectors interested in Training and Testing for their SPI License. You can find the schedule of the next two day (weekend) class, looks like the last one was in Feb., another should come up in May or so.

http://structuralpest.wsu.edu/index.html

The class on the 17th is a recertification class which might be interesting, but for new inspectors the two day class is the best bet, and a lot better and less expensive than ITA's or other courses offered, although the one in Bellinghoam is supposed to be pretty good.

State sponsored education and a training facility that offers hands on training, all for $200 and $25 worth of training material. All part of an Evil Plot to Intimidate people from becoming Home Inspectors.

Ya, Lewis I attended my continuing education for evil Washington SPI training today, ....for my regular brainwashing. Now I am better prepared to coerce other non SPI's into going over to the dark side. .....inside joke for those that do not regularly follow the Wa SPI debate.

No..... but really WSU has a good training facility and I think we will see lots of good training come out of this facility. The instructors are true professionals and know the business inside and out. Worth taking the time of to attend.

Anyone interested can follow the link that Lewis provided to WSU's site where they will be updating course offering information.
