IMPORTANT NOTICE: ISS Closing December 2023

Greetings and welcome to ISS. We offer you EXPERIENCE - KNOWLEDGE & INSPECTION SUPPORT. Our primary focus remains in Education and (PD & CE) Professional Development and Continuing Education along with our new format for our YHIR Reporting System. We offer various education, training and business growth opportunities. We have been in business for over 25 years. Our online education is recognized in BC and Alberta for licensing. In addition, we have a good number of inspectors using our reports.

Our YHIR (Your Home Inspection Report) has changed in format. Now offering an easier to use and very cost efficient report system. It is an annual royalty free use program for the home inspector (user) to publish/use for inspection reports. The change of time, technologyand simplification made us rethink how best our inspector clients could utilize inspection reports.

Education is our prime growth area. We are an approved education provider in Alberta as well as BC (British Columbia) for licensing, We will also continue to offer our home inspection education program online at a reasonable price point of $999.00. This is a great price that is the most affordable means of educating home inspectors across Canada. Additionally, we also provide a variety of continuing education and home inspection related courses such as IAQ, commercial inspections, and construction related courses.

The Directors of Inspection Support Services comprises a team of Home Inspection Professionals that have a very diverse background. It includes subject areas including architecture, construction, building inspection, code compliance, energy management, (IAQ) indoor air quality, mold training, mentoring, supervised field training and inspection education. A few of our projects includes training and curriculum development for First Nation National Building Officers,and the initial program development and education support for the Home Inspection Training at Humber College.

We also provide a variety of field training to help mentor inspectors for onsite home inspections, be it 1 day or up to a week. Additionally, we have delivered ongoing education at a number of home inspection events such as for conferences and workshops including venues for ASHI, CAHPI, iNACHI, OAHI and OntarioACHI.

Our report line initially started out as a means to provide an affordable and occupational standard compliant inspection report system for home inspectors. Our education services expanded by fulfulling the ongoing market demand to provide inspector education and training for almost a decade for Humber College in Toronto, Ontario & FNNBOA. This included both in-class and online delivery. This eventually provided the opportunity to take it to the next level. Deliver our own courses that are recognized for both in-class* as well as through online delivery system. Furthermore, we offer more personal (direct instruction) engagement that includes weekly webinars with contact between the course facilitator and course participants. (* Where and when numbers support offerings.) (Currently vith Covid - face to face delivery is suspended.)

As noted our "online training program" has flourished and is recognized in BC and Alberta for licensing of home inspectors. The program provides an affordable alternative to the high price home inspection courses, saving new entry inspectors thousands of dollars, as well as providing 480 hours of education. The program is divided into 2 semesters that run back-to-back starting in Jan, April and Sept. Sign up for the start of our next semester but note that enrollment must be completed prior to these start semester dates.

Our weekly "course webinars" provides blended learning with the partcipants by extremely knowledgeable and experienced course facilitators. Other benefits include no additional costs for pricey mandatory texts, additional 3rd party costs and a "proctored" course exam, often associated with in class delivery. .

Feedback from our course partcipants indicate comments such as - "A plus" and "Met my schedule and price point was unbelievably great", "the ease of learning the topics and willingness to assist", as well as " very knowledgeable facilitators and deep understanding of subject and experience".
