I am on board. First and foremost I love to teach and am passionate about my chosen profession and would love to teach others.

The problem with our industry isn't to many inspectors it too little of GOOD, QUALIFIED inspectors. What better way to prevent idiots from ruining the name of the profession than teaching them.

I have seen what hap hazard testing does. It ruins our names and profession. What better way to combat that then from the inside? You let idiots teach you are going to be doing $99 inspections. Teach them what the profession is worth, make them work for it and instead of uneducated lowballers you will get qualified inspectors and do inspections for $499.

Would you rather do 100 jobs at $250 or 50 jobs at $500? Some will look at this like an income generator, I look at it like a increase in professionalism.

I was a instructor for 7 years in the army and loved it!

Existing HI thinking...........

RE sales are way down; not many inspections happening......get certified as an instructor, promise riches to any newbies* I can suck in and......make a lot more money teaching!!

* Here's from a business story about a BC master franchisor:

"Once they’re up to speed, A Buyer’s Choice franchisee can do 600 inspections per year at about $450 per inspection – creating a gross income of $270,000 per year."

Whats the problem?

You have leaders of home inspection associations running inspector schools, and or inspection supply companies.

More instructors more students. Whats wrong with that?

Did you ever consider becoming a home inspector?

10 Reasons

Why Home Inspection is an Ideal Business Opportunity,
Career Change or New Career Choice.

1.
No franchise fees*. Minimal startup costs.
2.
Relatively short term startup training (period may vary dependent on each individuals previous experience).
3.
A home-based business with limited overhead costs.
4.
Can be conducted on a full or part-time basis.
5.
Unlimited income and potential for expansion.
6.
Growing demand for home inspection services.
7.
Cash flow benefits of onsite payment for services provided.
8.
Transportable skills - if you move to another location.
9.
Flexibility - set your own hours.
10.
An important, exciting and lucrative career.
* there are no franchise fees associated with our courses.


There has never been a stronger demand for home inspections and qualified home inspectors as there is today. This is due, in part, to deficient construction practices, materials and workmanship as well as awareness of environmental hazards and a need to protect today's consumer who is better informed and wants maximum value for what is often the largest financial investment of his/her life.

We're doing this school worldwide, in some 60 different countries. We'll need veteran inspectors who like to travel initially as most countries have no inspection industry to speak of. It's all new to them.

I didn't say there was a problem with that but some appears to think there is by their posts including yours...

Just wondering why some think that way...

Your initial post made me think you had a problem. But now I realize you don't have a problem with it.

What is your feeling of a association teelling newbies how great this industry is .
Then telling them to join our association .
Then he is the president at the meeting . then he tells them they need to take our courses .
Next weekend he is teaching these newbies a course nkowing 90% are never going to be a home Inspector.
This happens in Canada and has for many years .
I think it is similar to a home inspector doing repairs on the home he inspected some think that too is OK .
I think most SOPs say not to be done .

Brian, do you have anything to add?

Canada's Leading Home Inspections Career Opportunity

Why Inspections?

"LEARN FROM THE BEST TO BE THE BEST"
Why Home Inspections As A Business? $$$

Did you ever consider becoming a Home Inspector?

Inspect4u (Canada) offers this unique opportunity in education with hands on training for a career in Home Inspections.
10 Reasons Why Home Inspections Is An Ideal Home Based Business/Career Change.
1. No franchise fees (with our courses)
2. Minimal startup costs
3. Run as a part-time or full time business
4. Unlimited income potential and expansion
5. Growing demand for Home Inspectors
6. Immediate cash flow benefits/onsite payment
7. Flexibility-set your own hours
8. Short term start up training
9. Very low overhead
10.Very exciting and lucrative career

There has never been such a strong demand for Home Inspectors. Nearly 90% of all Real Estate transactions request a Home Inspection. It's a very rewarding career with the average Home Inspection running @ a current $325.00 + per home, taking into consideration that an inspections is completed within a 3 hr time frame.
REWARDS
If you do chose this career as a profession, you can set your own time schedule and reap the full financial rewards of your labour. Provide your clients with good service they will repay your efforts time and time again referring you to others.Home Inspectors can make a substantial living performing Home Inspections. On the average two Home Inspections could be properly performed per day. You can run this business even part-time easily, in the evenings and weekends performing as little as 3 inspections a week. See how easily this part-time income can replace your full time one.
"THIS BUSINESS HAS UNBELIEVABLE RETURN ON ONE'S INVESTMENT"
When you warn a client about a serious housing defect that can be costly in the long term "you become their best friend for life" you equally feel satisfied when you have educated your clients about their home they are purchasing and therefore are able to make an informed decision.
