This five day course is designed to teach students the science of Carpet Inspection. The content of the course is approved by the IICRC to teach students and prepare them to fulfill the examination and writing requirements to receive certification from IICRC as a Senior Carpet Inspector. The course emphasizes the development of the critical analytical and writing skills needed to become a successful carpet inspector.
John uses his years of report writing experiences to help each student develop their own skills with personal evaluations of each students written reports that are completed during the course. Each student then completes the course with the necessary confidence to write an accurate and convincing inspection report that complies with the IICRC report writing requirements.

The exhaustive technical information presented during the course is presented with the aid of PowerPoint and video to enhance the learning process of each student. John also presents hundreds of photos during the course, which are representative of every type of inspection problem that the inspector may encounter. Each student will literally have the benefit of seeing all types of mill defects, installation errors, and end-user related problems before even starting out on their new career.

In order to teach the Senior Carpet Inspector course, John had to have a manual for his new school and elected to write his own manuals, rather than using standard manuals written for the industry by other authors. John felt this was important in order for the course materials to be presented within the framework of his teaching style and strategy. John’s course materials are very well organized and easy to navigate, which makes taking the open book test a much easier task than in the past.
