Why pay $500 when you can get it here for $95 and still call yourself certified?

Absolutely true. In fact, I received a catalog with a $1300 Flir IR camera. Now that the prices are reasonable, I can throw one in my tool box. Good things come to those who wait.

Heck, 4 hours?
My class takes 2 days, minimum, with the other iNACHI requirements. 4 hours will barely explain how to turn it on. You may get what you pay for, but you will never get more than you paid for.

I have a 2 day (4. 4 hour courses, approved for Illinois State CE) for Building Science and InterNACHI certification. I have taught it, In Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
But, one must remember that the NACHI Green Building and Water Intrusion NACHI.TV courses are also required for NACHI cert. I will travel and teach in other areas, if asked. In this area, I teach for free (well, I take free lunches and after course drinks). Most (99%) of my income is regular inspections. I have also had a number of contractors (exterior, roofing, mold, etc) who have asked me to teach for their employees. With cameras getting cheaper (Pardon me. "Less Expensive") there is a big demand. Most times, I just have them hire me, but some want their own employees to be informed. Hey, a market is a market, isn't it?

You must buy one of their camera to get the $95 price on a 4 hr class (if you cancel their $95 class, there is a $100 processing fee). No certification is offered.
If you buy the one of the high end cameras from us, and take our class, which is 16 hrs (vs 4 hrs), you still save $1000 by taking our class and buying the same camera from our suppliers. Plus... our class if part of the InterNACHI INFRARED CERTIFIED process and gives the inspector a federally registered trademark and educational designation. Plus... Nick gives our students a free InterNACHI membership ($289 value) or $100 off renewals. So for a $1000 less, someone can buy the same high end camera, take our class (16 hrs vs 4 hrs) and become INFRARED CERTIFIED via the InterNACHI qualifications (and a free $289 membership). Plus we do not charge a $100 processing fee for those who cancel a $95 class. Oh my. You decide. John McKenna, CMI (TREC #4565)
