This is the flagship class of PaRR's training. These classes go into depth, with interactive lectures, and hands-on training using inspection hardware and software. It is also a great place to meet and talk to experienced inspectors, who come for refreshers.

The Mock Inspection Portable Disaster Structure is used in our Mock Inspection classes to enhance our training. It is a mock up of a damaged dwelling and gives the inspector the ability to perform a practice inspection on a structure. It simulates a typical inspection scenario that you might meet out in the field. You enter inspection data on the computer, giving you a chance to get comfortable with the hardware and software. Later, you find out how accurately you have recorded the damage.

Registration for a Mock Inspection class requires prior completion of PaRR Online Training.
