your state and whether the instructors are qualified. Find out what you are going to learn, how long it will take,
and how your work is scored. Be sure to talk with a course instructor rather than sales staff who do not understand
the training. Make sure you getting something more than a textbook and a study guide.

Let
me tell you about my experience with the course. I'm a licensed contractor, but there's a world of difference between
inspecting homes and building them. I learned a lot about what goes wrong with homes and what to look for after,
say 10-15 years. I bought this course for my sons, but now they have me working part-time for them! It's absolutely
worth the money -- just ask my boys!
