Day 7 is dedicated to reinforcing everything students have learned throughout the course. The session begins with a focused review of major systems, inspection standards, and report writing practices. Special attention is given to defect recognition—helping students sharpen their ability to identify, interpret, and describe common issues found during inspections. The day concludes with the final exam, which evaluates each student’s readiness to conduct professional inspections and prepares them for the state licensing exam. Passing the course exam is a critical step toward certification and launching a successful inspection career.
