Sign Up Now for Continuing Education Courses in October
While the Illinois Inspector Training Institute prides itself on educating new inspectors, we also want to make sure that current inspectors stay informed on current issues in the field.
We offer Continuing Education courses that fill the state requirements for continuing education for home inspectors as well as keep inspectors informed about new trends in the topic areas.
We currently offer two continuing education courses. Each course is worth six hours of state continuing education credit on October 12 & 16 2008 — from 8am until 2:30 pm (with a thirty minute break, lunch provided).
Course descriptions follow below for each course. In order to register, call the Tomacor office at 312.475.0835. Please specify which course you are interested in: what you demand is what we will offer. Thank you!
Illinois Property Maintenance Standards: An Overview of the International Property Maintenance Code and its Relationship to Illinois Home Inspectors
Home inspectors within the state of Illinois are looking at buildings that will fall under this code’s influence more than any other single code or standards text. The beauty of this code lies within its simplicity, requiring construction, analysis, insight and judgement from each building inspector. Specific subject areas will include: common construction definitions; existing construction general requirements; light, ventilation and occupancy limitations; plumbing facilities and fixture requirements; mechanical and electrical requirements; etc.
Existing Residences Minimum Standards
This class is designed to familiarize and in some cases reinforce the state of Illinois home inspector’s knowledge of minimum requirements for residential occupancies. The classroom discussion will focus on the city of Chicago’s Minimum Standards for Existing Buildings. Emphasis will be placed upon Chicago’s standards due to the sheer number and volume of buildings that are covered by these standards in the state of Illinois. In addition, classroom presentation will emphasize minimum residential construction standards for existing buildings which are directly applicable throughout the state of Illinois.
All student materials will be provided to students three days to one week in advance of the scheduled class date, and students may pick up their materials at the Tomacor office. Please call the office to let personnel know that you will be coming to get your materials. The fee for continuing education courses is as follows: $150 per class, $100 per class for IITI graduates (with certificate). $10 discount for group enrolls or if you enroll in both classes.
