- Continuing Education: TAREI seminars are held on specific, timely subjects that are a valuable learning experience to inspectors and are available at a reduced rate to members. Another important benefit gained from attending seminars is the opportunity to rub elbows with and share the experiences of those who have already walked in your shoes!
