LEAD Renovation, Repair and Painting- For Contractors!
1 Day - 8 hours
$195

Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.  To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Our LEAD training course has been approved by the U.S. EPA and is only approved for purposes of certification under Section 402 of TSCA.  Please visit our Classroom Courses page to learn more about this class.

Parallel Inspections (with FREE EZInspection Report software) 

Before you can become a certified home inspector in the State of Arizona, you must complete 30 parallel inspections with a licensed home inspector.  Inspection Training of Arizona will coordinate with participating inspection companies throughout the valley to help you fulfill this very valuable training.

Field training consists of real home inspections, up to four students may attend with one inspector. The student will observe the inspection of all the various visible and accessible systems and components in the home and its exterior. They will also have the opportunity to observe how the inspector interacts with the clients, seller and real estate agents and how information about the home is conveyed to the clients through the inspection report.

The students will be required to fill out their own inspection reports.  If you do not have a reporting software, ITAZ will provide you with our own software, EZInspection Report for your parallel inspections.  This software works hand in hand with EZOnline Scheduling.  To easily import your inspection order information into your reporting software, saving you time and effort.  When you have completed your parallels and wish to keep EZInspection Report, you will only be charged the licensing fee. (approximate $250).
 
Even if your state does not require parallel inspections for licensing, time spent on field inspections can greatly enhance a student's understanding of the whole process.
