[FONT=Verdana]I just passed my Level 2 (written exam) with ITC and I will be sending my field assignment on Mon. It was a gruelling 4 days but well worth the time and effort.
By next week I will be fully certified (Flir ITC) as a level 2 Thermographer!
Level 3 next year and later on in the same year, Level III Certification with ASNT.
I encourage ALL Home Inspectors to get on board with this (fascinating) technology!

Have you thought about doing application courses? IMO You should split your course down to ROOFING, ELECTRICAL, BUILDING SCIENCE ETC., APPLICATION COURSES.
We are going to be teaching a class at the convention of Texas Assoc. of Real Estate Inspectors (TAREI) in January and a regular bi-monthly class for a HI school in Toronto. We may also be going to Alberta, CA soon as well. We have also been contacted by a college here in Houston that wants an IR class at their location.
As you know, level 2 covers so much more information than level 1, formula’s, thermodynamics, temperature measurements, etc. The entire course is condensed into 4 days and IMO this course can easily be doubled in length. This will allow the student the time to study at a slower (human) pace and absorb all material covered. I found myself studying at the hotel room for 3-4 hours every night after attending an 8 hour in-class course.
I have never attended your course but from the topics I see that you cover, you could very easily do 3-5 different application courses. This will allow students the time needed to absorb all content covered.
