Great Paul I expect our NACHI Membership Number be required .
Thanks ............Roy Cooke sr

[phinsperger]

Certainly this will qualify for NACHI CE credits but the offer from ProLabs is not limited to NACHI members. I actually set it up for another smaller organization but all are welcome. So the NACHI ID number isn't really needed this time.

Paul,
you might want to re-evaluate Sept.2nd as the seminar date since it is the last long weekend of summer. You may not get the desired turn out.

Well then it should be a fairly slow day for home inspections for most inspectors allowing them not to miss much work.

The Sept 2nd date was set by Pro Labs based on their training schedule not mine.

Being on a long week end can have its advantages no traffic lots of hotel rooms if needed a chance to Bring your partner and see southern Ontario.
If any are coming from the USA this could be a great chance to see Niagara Falls ( you can never get tired see the falls ).
Toronto has so many things to see 3 days is not enough .
Being free is another great deal.
Remember this is open to all who wish to learn .
Come and meet some great home inspectors and those from other areas.

There has been great response to this course. A realtor may be hard pressed to find anyone in Ontario to do an inspection on Sept 2nd

I have taken two of there courses and was no overly impressed two different Scientists? one said Javex to kill mould another said no way javex does not touch mould . Much of what was taught when I took the courses is available for free on the net and you are not traveling a long way to pay big dollars.

Look close before you leap.

Claude how long since you took this course.

Javex does not kill Mould

[Claude Lawrenson]

Talking about looking close before you leap - does a one day information seminar make one an expert? Not that the 3 day does either, without the addition in field performance verfications by an objective third party.

Personally, I do not believe in taking on the extra risk! I would rather leave that to those that are "specialists and experts" in this matter, and defer that diagnostic evaluation to them. It does not take a lot of education to realize from various clues when mould is present in a home.

And where did I say taking a one day expert makes me an expert .
A one day course does add to my knowledge and this is exactly what I want to do .
All knowledge is just gained one step at a time or one day after another.
Unfortunately many can not afford the exorbitant Dollars some charge for their courses.
I think it is great that NACHI and others give out courses and education for free or low cost.
These all improve the home inspection industry with out costing so much money that members just give up and go into other means of making a living.
Some in home inspection industry seam to get so many to take courses that cost much and we eventually loose a lot of our future good home inspectors .
It is sad a very very small % of home inspectors do not last 5 years because the cost to succeed has broke them.
At 4:00 am this morning we had 3 members and 33 guests and right now we have 29 members and 15 guests
Most users ever online was 323, 5/6/06 at 9:30 PM.
Fantastic Thank You NACHI.
I can fly to Colorado take a course and fly home frequently cheaper then I can go to Toronto to take a course put on by a non NACHI.
I went to Florida for the NACHI Conference for a lot less then the cost of
doing the Whistler conference and learned many important things I can use
.

Hey Roy - that message was not personally directed at you! It was a general comment.

However, my point being that some may "assume" they are instant experts based on a one day seminar on the topic.

Certainly I commend "any" organization, group or person that offers "free" education and training opportunities for inspectors to learn more.

[phinsperger]

Although general mould identification is part of this course, I suspect the most valuable (esp in a court room) part of this course will be how to properly gather a mold sample use a scientifically acceptable process. The lab does the actual identification.

All knowlegde is good. What you do with that knowledge is another matter.
