Registration is now open for the home inspection training course that will be offered at Bellingham Technical College the end of October. This is a regional class, designed for Washington state, in that a number of students will be coming in from King county, Snohomish county and other areas of the state. This college level training prepares students to work in the field. Students will be able to pass the state WDO test and work as structural pest inspectors. They will, also, be prepared to take, and pass, any test that might be required to join any home inspection society or organization. This is one of the most rigorous courses, in the field of home inspection, that is taught anywhere in the nation. Many of the home inspectors working in the state, men and women, are graduates of this class. Click on the link above.

Thanks for looking. If you are interested, follow the link above.

Rondel,
I understand your point. It seems that, in your field, what you really need is an overview. This is a real heavy duty and intense hands on course for those who plan to make a living at home inspection. For the hands on part of the class, we really need students there in person to touch stucco, check out EIFS, differentiate between asbestos siding and striated cedar, identify LP siding, see termites and their damage up close. We do offer a class, 3 clock hours, for realtors but afraid we do not go as far as CA.
