National Property Inspections, Inc. added one franchise team in Canada. John and Joanne Bosscher of Grimsby, Ontario, successfully completed NPI’s home inspection training program. Shawn Stewart of Oakley, Calif., and Bob Wilson of Peterborough, Ontario, also received their course completion certificates. Stewart will assist NPI franchisee Mike Stewart with his business, while Wilson will assist GPI franchisee Doug Kendall.
Before receiving their certificates, NPI/GPI franchisees receive training in technical, marketing and business aspects of property inspection and franchising. Their days are spent mastering an understanding of all major property systems, including: plumbing, structural, electrical, HVAC, roofing, foundations, and exterior and interior wall coverings. Safety issues, moisture intrusion, and common problems are also covered. The training prepares them to handle commercial inspections, residential inspections, relocations, field service work and more.
Franchisees are also trained in computers and the equipment they will use on a daily basis, including the proprietary inspection software. NPI’s Inform inspection software was first developed over 10 years ago and is updated frequently to meet the need of clients and inspectors. Most franchisees elect to complete additional training with an assigned NPI/GPI mentor, a franchisee already established in the field.
National Property Inspections Inc. provides ongoing support and training for all of its franchisees.
“Whether our franchisees need a new marketing tool or technical support, we’re just a phone call away,” Executive Vice President, Bill Erickson, said.
