It was announced today by the State Department of Licensing that Bellingham Technical College is now an approved provider for a supplemental training course for those home inspectors who require more education in order to meet state licensing requirements. There were a number of home inspectors who had previously taken home inspector education, but the courses did not meet the guidelines that were, eventually, set by the state. If those students had a sufficient number of hours, then they are allowed to take 40 hours of supplemental training and that will allow them to meet the state requirements. BTC is, primarily, offering this to past students of our course who took the course prior to it being approved by DOL. We are offering the supplemental course in conjunction with our regular fundamentals classes. Those requiring supplemental training will come in on certain days and attend key refresher classes. Because we do have limited classroom space at BTC, typically rooms that hold no more than 12 to 16 students, space for the supplemental program is limited. Most students taking the supplemental course will, also, wish to take the 40 hours of field training. Anyone interested in this course may obtain more information by contacting Bellingham Technical College at 360-752-8796. Steven L. Smith
