| Article | ST. LOUIS—National Wood Flooring Association’s Certified Professionals (NWFACP) is offering an Inspection Report Writing School as part of its continuing education commitment to certified wood flooring professionals. The one-day class is designed to provide instruction on how to properly write a comprehensive inspection report based on NWFA Certified Professionals standards. Seven main report writing criteria will be covered, including developing a clear statement of the problem, providing a detailed physical description of the floor, outlining a comprehensive claims history of the problem, describing all testing procedures and documenting all testing results, listing all industry standards that are appropriate and apply to the problem being inspected, identifying the cause or causes of the problem, and developing a conclusion statement that is clearly supported by the accompanying report data and materials. “Although these topics are covered during NWFACP’s Wood Flooring Inspection School, many students are unable to attend the full-week course in St. Louis,” said NWFACP director, Don Conner. “For this reason, report writing is being offered as a separate class. To make it easier to attend and to minimize the cost associated with travel and lodging, the course will be offered on a traveling basis.” The first session will be held Sept. 10 in Chicago. Check the NWFACP Web site for additional dates and locations at www.nwfacp.org. The cost to attend the school for wood flooring inspectors certified by the NWFA Certified Professionals, the Institute for Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification; the National Institute of Certified Floorcovering Inspectors, Flooring Consultants and Inspection Training Service, and NOFMA— The Wood Flooring Manufacturers Association, is $195. The cost to attend for nonmembers of these groups is $250. For more about NWFACP, call 866.418.5408. |
