Nick,
I have taken McKennas thermal imaging class...... would this count as any education credits?

thanx

[Nick Gromicko]

Maybe, but the glitch is, unlike our courses in www.nachi.org/mold-florida.htm , the DBPR can't review John's webinar.

All of our courses, along with accompanying student material and textbooks, have been sent to the DBPR so that they have them on file.

[Nick Gromicko]

Today, the DBPR approved four of our mold-related courses and did not approve the other four. Our site has been updated to reflect these approvals: www.nachi.org/mold-florida.htm

[LaVerne L. Spencer]

Already sent application in. What other courses are available, that meet the approval?

[Nick Gromicko]

I don't know. I only got these approvals this morning. They didn't give anyone much cushion.

Why are these courses approved then and ours are not?

[Thomas R. Hession]

or these orgs. http://www.namri.org/florida_grandfathering.html

[Joseph Burkeson, CMI]

I think NORMI.org has an approved course also.

Completing InterNACHI's Exterior course is necessary to do a proper mold inspection. Without water, there is no mold. So unless you are talking about a plumbing leak, all water comes from the exterior.

Does the nachi plumbing course count

[Preston L. Halstead]

Ok, I guess my question is this. What is INachi doing to help their members out. I have a member in my company that I paid for to get it done through Nachi. We were specifically told what what courses and test to take. Am I out of pocket now for nothing? $289 Nachi membership, $100 proctor test, $200 in gas, hotel, meals, and time to take 70 plus hours of Nachi courses. Was this all for nothing. I think this is a fight Nachi should be fighting for its members and the promisses they made to the members.

We've unofficially been granted a 90-day extension. This extension will give members time to get all their mold courses completed. However, and this is a BIG "However"... the extension is only being granted to InterNACHI members who have submitted an application before grandfathering ends.

Many thanks to member David Cobian for his work on procuring this.

So let me sum this up --- The 62 hours of Nachi course credits that were previously promoted as meeting the criteria for the 60 necessary hours --- do not qualify?????? Are you kidding me? These courses were specifically listed as being the accepted InterNACHI courses for aquiring the mold assessior license - It was indicated that these couses were under review by the State for CE credits, but the implications were that these courses met the States Mold Assessor criteria --- Am I missing something here? Now some of these courses have been finally reviewed and found to not be acceptable ------ Not a Happy Camper --- So i need to send off $335 to the State with my application and Nachi cousees that do not meet their requirements in order to be considered for the 90 day extension --- in lite of the potential that the license will be repealed anyway???????????????????? Nick --- WTH ---- This is a joke right? I really expect a lot more from my Society --- We have been fed some false information that is just UNACCEPTABLE --- Maybe i'm misreading this dialogue --- but if not --- someone needs to right this ship --- I'm PO'd, or just missing something.
