Annual Certification Course Update…
In December, Kevin Miller, assisted by his colleague Don Penepent, will conduct CFSIC’s annual certification courses for licensed home inspectors and engineers who wish to become or remain CFSIC-certified.
If you’re certified now by CFSIC, you must be recertified every year. You have to attend the day-long recertification process, and you have to successfully pass the exam, which will include this year new questions about CFSIC’s structure as well as new testing criteria aimed at sharpening the skills of these professionals.
The true gateway into the CFSIC program is not a claimant application. It’s not the contractor’s proposal. It’s not the Participation Agreement. It’s the foundation visual inspection assigning a CFSIC Severity Class code. You cannot be a CFSIC claimant receiving funds to remediate a foundation without the visual examination. The certification/recertification course is mandatory without exception.
We are particularly pleased this year to announce that more licensed engineers than ever before have signed up to become certified. They don’t have to, but the quality of CFSIC’s coursework speaks for itself.
