Down below George's head, in the body of this article, is a photo of the culmination of lots of work. For three weeks these students have been enveloped by the intense home inspection training program that is offered at Bellingham Technical College. This program is one of only a few courses that are approved by the state to meet the new state requirements for a "fundamentals of home inspection" class. 

 When I say this is the culmination of their work, I mean that these students are taking their final test which consists of more than 200 questions. The test helps them begin to prepare for the next phase in their careers -- passing the state exams and getting fully licensed.

 

The Bellingham Technical College course consists of three weeks of classroom education followed by a week of field training. The Bellingham Technical College program has legs, having been in existence for nearly 15 years. It is, at this time, the only college level home inspection training in the state and the college provides graduates with a certificate showing that they have completed a state college level course. Many students choose Bellingham Technical College, when they are looking for training, due to the longterm credibility and the reputation of the program.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Steven L. Smith

Steven - I'm sure the students will benefit; I understand that the lead instructor at the college is quite talented and has a great assistant. : )

John, everything except the "great assistant" part is accurate:)

John,

You are one smart man. Charlie is little, small, jealous, small-minded, petty and mean. You summed up my assistant pretty well.

Nutsy, Squirrels can't sweat. Too bad for you but good for us.

Gee I thought John meant Charlie and Raven. Do you use Nutsy as a prop during your training classes?

James,

There is some speculation among the three others, not old spoiled Bee, that Nutsy might take over Charlie's sections during the next class in January. He really is that good.

Kate, True, squirrels don't sweat but they do fry up rather nicely...

I heard Nutsy was actually going to be part of my electrical demonstration to show how "conductive" squirrels are

Chuckie Bee,

You are treading on thin ice with that type of insensitive remark.

Nutsy will be totally insensitive after his electrifying demonstration.

James,

I beg of you, please do not be putty in Chuckie Bee's hands. He just tries to incite violence against the little sweet fellow.

I have to agree with Charlie on this one.  During my section of the training, the one big complaint I heard was about the squirrel poop all over the class room.

I've often thought that it would be a good idea to have an inspectiion licence in addition to my real estate licence - not necessarily to practice it but to have that additional knowledge.
