I'm Matt — I passed the CWI exam on my first try in 2010 and have spent over a decade helping others do the same. I built this course from real-world inspection experience, not just textbook theory.
Since founding my consulting firm in 2016, I've hired and mentored dozens of CWIs. I know exactly what the exam tests and how to get you ready for it.
You're not doing this alone. I'm your personal coach — message me anytime you're stuck. Check out some real conversations with my students right here to see how I help.
