The reason there are no code clinics for D1.5 is because there isn't sufficient demand to make such a course finacially justified.
The cost of putting on a seminar of any type is very expensive when the costs of the facility, course materials, instructor, etc. are taken into consideration. There would have to be enough students in the course to pay the direct costs as well as the development of the course (which is no small undertaking).
Presumably you'd spread the recouping of development costs over a couple years' worth of seminars. When's the last time AWS did any market research on this? There wasn't demand for a long time because there was no test.
And I'm getting tired of larnin' others about what's in there. I want someone else to do it for me. I'll pay 'em.
It may not be a good barometer of demand for a D1.5 seminar. It is likely that some that take the D1.1 test do so because they can attend a code clinic. Mankenberg
I agree. I think they're assuming less demand than there really is. Pretty much any CWI employed by a DOT would want it, not to mention 3rd-party inspectors who do a lot of bridges. (Except us, we do it in-house, but our in-house guy is fixin' to retire, and then we'll want it too.)
