Taking a Home Inspection course to better analyze properties

[Alonzo Dones Jr]

Would taking a home inspection course be beneficial for analyzing properties?  Would it be worth the money to take a course so that you could quickly identify homes with major issues and not waste your time or recognize minor issues that could be used to make a better initial offer?  Or do you just familiarize yourself with a home inspection checklist so that it becomes second nature?

Any thoughts?
