David Jeffery E.(or Jeff as he likes to be called) was working as a sales associate at a national home improvement store when he injured his shoulder. Fortunately, he received career re-training as part of his worker’s compensation settlement.
Jeff was interested in home inspection; however, he faced a dilemma because there were no “live” schools in his area. That’s when he discovered Allied Schools’ distance education programs and enrolled in their Home Inspection course.
According to his Academic Advisor, Jeff was highly motivated and always asked pertinent questions. In fact, he graduated two weeks ahead of schedule. After graduating, Jeff started his own home inspection business, but four months later, he received an e-mail that would change his life.
Jeff’s training program also included assistance from the school’s Career Center, so when the staff came across a job opening for an inspection sub-contractor at a large bank, they contacted him. It was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up! After weeks of phone calls and interviews with the bank, Jeff got the job.
Jeff approached his new career in the same manner he handled his studies – with drive and determination. In the beginning he handled 15 projects, but that number more than doubled just four months later. As a Financial Inspection Consultant, he currently oversees 90-96 projects at a time.
“Distance Education was perfect for me," said Jeff. "Because I was on worker’s compensation, I did not have the money to make the long drive every day to the closest home inspection school. The correspondence type of school worked out perfectly.”
