Hands-On/ In-The-Field
Intensive Inspector Training Programs
That Save You Money
in This Tight Economy
   

                                         

You have told us how you want your inspector training, and we are listening. 

Your Concern:  I don't want to waste my time sitting at a desk in class.  I can watch DVDs at home.
Our Solution:  We agree.  That's why we require you to watch DVDs before you come to class.  You spend your time in class receiving practical hands-on/in-the-field training.

Your Concern:  I don't want to be gone from home for weeks at a time spending a fortune on hotels and restaurant food.
Our Solution: Our hands-on/in-the-field courses range from 1 to 3-days.  The hotel is only $69/night, they have a free breakfast, and they have a free shuttle to the airport.

Your Concern:  I don't want to pay a lot of money for training.
Our Solution:  Our courses range from $375 to $899 for this extensive hands-on training.  We don't know of any other company that offers so much for so low a price.                 

Classes are held in Salt Lake City, Utah--The Crossroads of the West.  You saw Salt Lake on TV during the 2002 Winter Olympics, now come see it in person.

With many states now requiring training, be aware that many "schools" are springing up overnight.  Don't be fooled.  Go with a proven entity.  We have trained thousands of students from all over the country over the past 15 years.  Choose quality over proximity.  We offer the best training at some of the best prices.
