Why Attend ITS?
The NHLA Inspector Training School is the premier starting point for anyone considering a career in hardwood. With a long-standing reputation for excellence, NHLA-trained inspectors are in high demand, and many industry-leading companies require their inspectors to be trained and certified through our program.
Two Learning Options
Flexibility is key for students at the NHLA Inspector Training School. To accommodate different learning styles and schedules, we offer two different class options for those interested in earning their certificate in hardwood lumber inspection:
In-Person Inspector Training School Program
This course mixes hands-on training, testing, in-class lecturing, one-on-one training with the instructor, group study, and more. Students who successfully fulfill all program requirements will receive a certificate of completion.
Hybrid Online Inspector Training School Program
This course gives students the chance to earn a certificate of completion through a mix of in-person and online learning. The flexible format lets students work at their own pace while still getting important hands-on instruction. After completing both the in-person and online parts of the program, students will receive an official certificate of completion
The Hybrid Online Inspector Training Program is composed of 3 Modules:
MODULE 1
Module 1 is a two-week course that includes hands-on training and in-class lectures at NHLA Headquarters in Memphis, TN. Once Module 1 is complete, students can register
for Module 2.
MODULE 2
Module 2 is all online. Students can spend up to one year studying online from work, home, or anywhere with a WiFi connection. Once successfully finished with Module 2, students can register for Module 3.
MODULE 3
Module 3 is three weeks of training in Memphis, TN. In this Module, students will be taking tests and grading lumber, and students can meet with our instructors for one-on-one guidance.
