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. The stuff you can’t learn very well from just reading, like communicating with the clients and report writing, was covered thoroughly… Read more “Great training class!”

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.

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”. CFIU teaches real-world, practical skills.… Read more “Not just another Diploma/Certificate mill”

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”
