Pre-Conference Courses
Repeated again by popular demand in 2012
Special Training Opportunities: Pre-Conference Courses

These courses are being presented to give you an opportunity to expand your home inspection business in a convenient one-day format.

You don’t have to be registered for InspectionWorld to take any one of these courses (although you will probably want to register and stay around for the following three information-packed days of education sessions that are the hallmark of InspectionWorld).

Each course has its own separate tuition.
-
Tuition for each course includes: continental breakfast (served 7:00am-8:00am), lunch hour “on-your-own” with dining options nearby in the hotel, and complimentary admission to the Expo Hall Opening Night Reception (5:00pm - 8:00pm).
