Who
hires inspectors?
Inspectors are industry experts whose opinions are sought by
retailers, carpet fitters, cleaners, restorers, builders and
manufacturers. Inspectors are well paid and highly valued.
The largest employer of inspectors is manufacturers who send
out inspectors to evaluate claims. Retailers use inspectors
for the same reason. Builders are the third largest employer
of inspectors.
How to become a certified carpet inspector? Carpet inspectors take the senior carpet inspection course after earning certifications in Repair and Reinstallation and Carpet Cleaning Technician. After taking the course and passing the exam, the student must submit 10 reports to IICRC for review. Once those reports are approved, the student becomes a full-fledged carpet inspector.
How was the carpet made in the picture above? Just so it isn't too easy, you should know that it is tufted and the design is not printed. Answer to be found in class.
After you sign up... We will send you the first textbook. It is not necessary to read the whole book but there are several chapters that will give you a head start on the class.
Printed material varies to remain current but in the last class, two books written for the class, 1 textbook, a CD with miscellaneous reference materials and hundreds of pages of related industry literature were handed out, catalogued and discussed. The books have become bigger with time and the handouts smaller. Electronic material has exploded exponentially.
