The Kentucky Real Estate Inspectors Association Inc. is pleased to announce that a Fall 2009 Education Conference will be held October 9th & 10th, 2009 in Frankfort, KY to provide KBHI approved continuing education credits for renewing your Kentucky Home Inspector license.

You'll be able to get state required & KBHI (Kentucky Board of Home Inspectors) approved continuing education at this event. 

Don't overlook the value of meeting informally with all the inspectors attending and discussing home inspection issues and business operations with them.  Sometimes you learn almost as much in these informal discussions as you do in formal classes.

LOCATION:  This conference will again be held at the Capital Plaza Hotel, 405 Wilkinson Blvd, Frankfort, KY.  (see map at right)

If you are not yet a KREIA member, please consider joining us in our effort to advance the home inspection profession in Kentucky.  Click here for the KREIA Membership Application. 

Members With National Association Membership
 
One of the added values of  KREIA that we haven't made much of in the past is that, not only can we get our required education for our Kentucky license, we can also satisfy our Continuing Education needs for our national organization memberships. As a testimony to the quality of KREIA's education, the National Home Inspector associations (such as iNACHI - ASHI - NAHI) and border states accept most, if not all, of KREIA's awarded CEs.
 
With the exception of the Kentucky Law class, Indiana approves these courses for license renewal.

KREIA is pleased to provide top quality education, with a mix of nationally & locally known speakers that will lead us in classes that range from the technical to how to operate our businesses more profitably.
