Thousands of inspection terms
- Most courses are free.
- The courses are written in pure XHTML code for quick loading. The courses load fine on old computers and load fast, even with dial-up.
- The courses are designed using hierarchal menu coupled with sequential page navigation. This provides the student with the option to easily repeat areas of weakness.
- The courses permit 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 courses, including diagrams, illustrations and pictures of actual 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 courses’ quizzes and final exams have numerous advantages over traditional exam systems:
- The courses, quizzes and final exams incorporate built-in intelligence which identifies and strengthens each student’s unique subject weaknesses.
- Not only is each question weighted with regard to score, but each answer is weighted, as well as the correctness of each answer being weighted.
- Answers to easy questions are weighted such that the student is penalized, in terms of score, for answering incorrectly, but rewarded modestly for answering correctly.
- Answers to difficult questions are weighted such that the student is rewarded, in terms of score, for answering correctly, but not penalized for answering incorrectly.
- Answers to questions regarding basic safety or questions every inspector should know the answer to are weighted to such that the student is severely penalized, in terms of score, for answering incorrectly.
- Upon passing the final exam the student can print out a Certificate of Completion which is auto-generated in their own name.
- Online courses have many advantages over classroom courses.
