Experior is an organization that indeed gives tests, they handle the contractor's tests here in WV and they get the check.

They are somehow affiliated with the IAEI exams, but Sylvan Technology Learning Centers give the exams 'cuz they're on a 'puter.

That's how I've gathered it anyway...

well,it just sounds like the IAEI;
'one & two family dwellings' and 'inspector general' are two of the three current IAEI tests.

there are study guides for all 3..... http://www.iaei.com/productcatalog2001.pdf
note the 'one & two family book...
does this look familiar?

Good Luck on your exam,
I took the General exam a couple of years ago. I am going for the Plan Review exam in December, If I do well with that I'll give the One and two Family a shot.
Good Luck,
Steve T.

Virgil, ('66)

What are your plans if you pass the exam?
Are you going to try to get a job as an inspector? Can you contract at the same time?
If so, you couldn't inspect your own work, could you? [Linked Image]

I'm just curious, I don't know how that works. Tom?

Bill,

You're correct, you cannot inspect your own work or the work of anyone who works for you, your company, etc. So if Virgil ends up working for the same inspection agency that I do, I couldn't run down to Greenbrier County to get that reallly big fee from him when he puts in a 2000 amp service.

I hope he passes the tests, it is a great confidence builder. There is also a good chance that he could make more money inspecting than doing the work, judging what he says about working conditions at that end of the state.

Besides, when you're arguing with an appointed municipal inspector, it's nice to have credentials he doesn't.

Tom


Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

Update:

Been too busy to worry about it...

Haven't received the package from Experior either...

I do have the study guides, but I need to update my "library time" on them.

I need 48 hour days and a clone...

I hope to take the test in August or September.
