Our NSPIRE Specialist Course breaks down what NSPIRE is and isn’t and how it affects everyone – from the boardroom to the boiler room. Our NSPIRE Training workshop includes a high-level review of NSPIRE Standards, Scoring, Policies, and Procedures. We clearly explain what managers and maintenance need to know to succeed at REAC Inspections. Most importantly, we teach the best way to understand the NSPIRE requirements so that you understand why properties must always remain prepared.

To be unaware of or to fail to take these changes seriously at any level of your organization is to put your property at risk.

Understanding the NSPIRE Standards, Scoring, and Procedures

This course is much more than just a maintenance course. We discuss regulatory requirements, online systems, and required reporting in a way accessible to all. We also teach effective oversight and daily planning methods, which are key to full compliance with REAC NSPIRE. Above all, we discuss what can be done to create better living environments and how to reduce the stress of deferred maintenance.

Serious Changes Require Serious Curriculum

NSPIRE’s requirements align with the International Building Code (IBC), International Code Council (ICC), UFAS/ADA Accessibility Requirements, and fire and life safety standards. The ACE Certification course addresses the basis for NSPIRE standards while sharing all requirements: We do not simply gloss over the bare minimum. The NSPIRE Specialist ACE Certification seminar provides a comprehensive understanding of all standards clearly and concisely. It’s important to us that everyone can learn these sometimes tricky rules.

NSPIRE Means Housing Compliance

NSPIRE standards refocus the inspection process on Health and Safety, essential Building Safety Codes, and Unit Conditions. These new physical inspection requirements are a new way of thinking that everyone from executives to property managers to professional inspectors to maintenance professionals must know. Those used to conducting HQS and UPCS Inspections need to understand the step-by-step requirements of what makes something a deficiency. They also need to know how to test components properly. Our training gives you all that in a way that’s easily understandable and complete.
