Bellingham Technical College -- Washington State Approved Fundamentals of Home Inspection Education

By

Take a look at the photos below, then I will tell you what they mean to anyone who has been involved in the Washington state approved home inspector education that is taught at Bellingham Technical College.

 

  

These photos were taken during the fourth week of the course -- field training. The first three weeks students are in the classroom, and at some labs, but generally they are tied down learning the nuts and the bolts of what it is that they are looking for. In that final week, the students go on-site with instructors and put to practical application the knowledge that they learned earlier in the course. Anyone interested in the BTC program -- a state approved fundamentals of home inspection course -- can get more information by clicking on the icon below. The next scheduled class is early in the new year.

Thanks for stopping by,

Good to see there is so much rigor in the coursework.  Speaks well for the quality of inspectors coming up in Washington state.  Is Nutsy your teaching assistant?

Marcy,

As it stands, it looks like Nutsy is going to phase into teaching Charles Buell's courses. Charlie is just such a crab compared to the Nutsy one.

Charlie,

Frankly I think the students would learn to respect Nutsy and his innovative ideas.

Glad to see they have training classes like this.  I would hate to see some coming out that has had no training at all able to call themselves an inspector.

I for one do not wish to have nutsy as a fellow instructor.  As I stated in a previous post, the main complaint I get from students is about squirrel leavings in the classroom!
