Real in the field scenarios that prepare the inspector with the proper skills

Ron Gould Certified Flooring Inspector

For the past several years we have seen a dramatic change in the data collection and reporting from inspectors that Linda and her team have trained. Their approach to teaching inspectors “how to inspect” has had a positive effect with inspectors going through their training classes. Her teams approach to training does not mask as… Read more “Real in the field scenarios that prepare the inspector with the proper skills”

CFIU Glass Tile Course was Exceptional

The CFIU Glass Tile course was informative, educational, and detailed in the requirements of installation procedures and determinations. The visual photos present were especially useful in understanding what is expected in the performance of the product. Jeff Emanuel

The Luxury Vinyl online course was excellent. You have it put together very well! I plan on continuing with the other courses you offer. Very impressive. Also, I received the arrow/measure comparators today. Thanks for getting those out so quick. They will be a big help with photos on future inspections.

Fantastic Tests

I must admit, looking over the manuals for each product segment was a bit unnerving. I’ve been inspecting for many years and also am the Technical Director for a large flooring distributor. The depth of the information that includes (in the wood segment) math, knowing how to calculate using the coefficients was actually entertaining; it… Read more “Fantastic Tests”

Great course

Great course. Lots of need-to-know information to do an LVT inspection correctly. For the money, you can’t beat it. Even if you’re already an inspector like myself it’s always good to go back refresh your knowledge. Alfred Coates

Not just another Diploma/Certificate mill

CFIU teaches you how to perform an inspection, not just basics and terminology. Other schools offer courses which are the bare minimum required to be able to put the “certified” in front of your name, take your money and send you out the door with a “good luck” and “goodbye”.

Great training class!

That was a great training class in Myrtle Beach. I like the way that the “not so fun” necessary stuff, like testing can be done on my own time and at my own pace.

Best Path to become a WORKING Inspector

I took some time to write about my experience with CFI University, simply because over time I have come to respect what people and companies actually do on a consistent basis, not what they tell me they will do upfront.

Kudos! I will be back for more!
