I just signed up! :cool:

All I have to do is figure out how I’m going to get there! :mrgreen:

I’m looking forward to the classes. Thanks for putting this together.

Looking forward to it!

Are you going to the Boulder class Troy? If so then I am looking forward to meeting you there.

Yes, see you there.

I’ve arranged for us to inspect several commercial buildings in Boulder. This is going to be fun… and profitable for those going into commercial inspections.

See y’all there!

Unfortunately I was not able to attend this fabulous course. I am curious how it turned out. Is there any video of the on-site inspections?

We’re, or will there be, any video courses developed from this particular Training Course that took place in Boulder CO?

UNFORTUNATELY

I think this is the perfect word. It was cancelled. We can only hope it will be offered again. Maybe next time there will be more interested.

I suspect it had nothing to do with who was “interested”.

I understand, I just thought it would be a nice way to put it

Yeah, but “screw that”!

There were literally dozens of “inspectors” on this MB alone that jumped in and claimed their “interest” and “intent” of “being there”…

Dale and Bill, and others spend a boatload of time developing the program, based upon the interest shown for it…

What happened?

Think about it!

What was shown on this board as interest was high, reality was only 5 or 6 people signed up for the class, and with that the price for the spaces needed to hold a weeks class could not be met. The over all expense was way out of line. Most HI’s either can’t afford it or just don’t want to spend that much. The instructors have to survive too. While they are teaching, they’re missing work inspecting.

"I understand, I just thought it would be a nice way to put it. :wink:

LOL
I may have said to much

:-;; :-;; :-;;

The course conflicted with certain other partners priorities and we failed to get the support needed/promised.

A new course offering is currently aimed for early next year with a slightly different approach. We are keeping this one under our hat and will release information when the time is appropriate.

This course will still blow anything currently slated or offered out of the water with information and education provided.
Regardless of what others may say… commercial inspections cannot be adequately taught (or even remotely scratch the surface) in one 5 hour pep talk seminar. :wink:

Thank you Bill
I’ll be there

Now see… that’s what started it all last time! :twisted:
