Contact with Fellow Home Inspectors, Fun and Good Training.

I talk to other inspectors on a daily basis, Don Hester of NCW Home Inspections, LLC and I keep in touch a lot. We discuss inspection issues and how they relate to our work. During these conversations we research issues and discuss them from different view points. I have found this to be a great learning/training tool.

Schools are also a great way to learn and earn credits for the Washington State requirements. They are informative and they allow us to interact in person with other inspectors from around the state. One problem with the 'official' training is the cost and time it takes to get there. For me training is just one call away, I wonder if I could log my phone calls and send that to the state for credit?

I know some inspectors that have morning coffee together and share experiences, for others the distance may be to far for this, that is when the phone comes in. If you are a Home Inspector I highly recommend the phone call training technique we are perfecting. Of course any field could benefit from this technique and it is recommended. We truly have learned a lot about inspecting, business and related concerns.

Yes we even talk Politics occasionally:)
