InterNACHI's free, comprehensive, online, log home inspection course.

March 6, 2008

InterNACHI is pleased to announce the release of its free, online, log home course for inspectors. Developed by InterNACHI's own Kenton Shepard, this course is the largest, most in-depth log home inspection course of its kind. And, in keeping with InterNACHI's commitment to continuing education, this log home course is open and free to all (even non-members), and can be taken again and again without limit.

The log home inspection course is 240 pages long and broken down into 13 chapters.

Some features which make InterNACHI's log home inspection course superior to existing continuing education options:

The course is free for all InterNACHI members.
The course is written in pure XHTML code for quick loading. The course loads fine on old computers and loads fast, even with dial up.
The course is designed using a hierarchal menu coupled with a sequential page navigation. This provides the student with the option to easily repeat areas of weakness.
The course permits the student to start, stop and restart any part of the course as often as desired.
There are a variety of images referenced within the course including diagrams, illustrations and pictures of actual log home defects.
Some illustrations can be enlarged for clearer viewing by clicking on them.
The text is integrated into InterNACHI's Inspector Glossary. Rolling over blue colored terms provides their definition.
The final exam uses multiple choice questions that reference the images.
The course's quizzes and final exam have numerous advantages over traditional exam systems:
1. The course, quizzes and final exam incorporate built-in intelligence which identifies and strengthens each student's unique subject weaknesses.
2. Not only is each question weighted with regards to score but each answer is weighted as well as the correctness of each answer being weighted.
  1. Answers to easy questions are weighted such that the student is punished, in terms of score, for answering incorrectly but rewarded modestly for answering correctly.
  2. Answers to difficult questions are weighted such that the student is rewarded, in terms of score, for answering correctly but not punished for answering incorrectly.
  3. Answers to questions regarding basic safety or questions every inspector should know the answer to are weighted to such that the student is severely punished, in terms of score, for answering incorrectly.
Upon pasing the final exam the student can print out a certificate of completion which is auto generated in their own name.

The student's (InterNACHI member's) information is recorded on InterNACHI's servers for membership compliance verification and automatically logs completion into InterNACHI's online continuing education log.

InterNACHI, the inspection industry's leader in continuing education, is very proud to offer this comprehensive log home inspection course to all InterNACHI members. The course platform, developed by NACH's IT Director Chris Morrell, is currently being used in 10 other inspection courses in the works. Behind the next 10 courses are 25 more on the drawing board.

This new online log home inspection course has become an additional membership requirement. Non-members may take the course at no charge as well. It also counts as 8 InterNACHI continuing education hours.
