Education Program Structure
The InspectionWorld 2026 education schedule includes three concurrent tracks that run throughout the conference.
- Two Technical Tracks will focus on topics relevant to the inspection of residential systems and components.
- One Business & Ancillary Track will address areas related to business development, marketing, client communication, and specialized or ancillary inspection services.
This structure allows attendees to tailor their learning experience based on their interests and professional goals.
Pre-Conference Education
Before the main conference begins, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in Pre-Conference Education Courses. These in-depth sessions provide focused instruction on specialized topics and are ideal for inspectors looking to strengthen specific areas of expertise.
The 2026 pre-conference program includes:
- Chimney Inspection Class: a full-day class, going over a detailed overview of chimney systems, inspection methods, and reporting considerations, led by CSIA.
- IRC Boot Camp: a two-day, hands-on review of the International Residential Code, designed to help inspectors understand code concepts that apply to residential construction and inspection practices and prepare you for the ICC IRC B1 Exam.
Pre-conference courses require separate registration and provide additional ASHI continuing education credit opportunities.
