Extensively studying the course material and preparing ahead of time allows students to write down any questions they may have in advance and ask these questions in class. Additionally, advance preparation will enable you to avoid being bogged down learning the introductory material - which is easier and more efficiently learned at home. Instead, students can more wisely spend the live instructor-led classroom time learning advanced information, professional report writing, and field work.
Although specific training depends on state requirements, you can expect to listen to lectures, watch Powerpoint presentations, work with mock equipment and demos, and most importantly, inspect homes. In addition, PHII provides students with access to computers in the classroom during the training in order to complete assignments, testing, and inspection reports. PHII's style of hybrid classroom is unparalleled and without peer in the industry and allows each student to progress at his or her own pace so that no one is left behind.
