JOB TRAINING

After receiving your completed application you will be placed in our database of active inspectors.  You will not be sent any materials until a job comes up in your territory.  This could be immediately or it could be a month or more.  When a job does come up in your territory, you will receive an e-mail notifying you.  All SMG forms are created as Adobe Acrobat PDF forms.  You must have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and use these forms.  If you do not have Acrobat Reader then visit this link to download a free version.

SMG CHECKLISTS

SETTING UP THE INSPECTION

After SMG receives the inspection request we will make contact with the club and let them know what is going on, who ordered the inspection, and what is expected of them.  SMG will then contact you by e-mail or phone and let you know about the job or jobs.  You are then required to call and set up an appointment.  INSPECTIONS MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 2 WEEKS.  A due date will be sent with the inspection order.
