Find out what is wrong with your curb ramps before someone else tells you.DIY Curb Ramp Inspection
Most curb ramps that fail were built by people who thought they knew the rules. Slope, cross slope, landing, flare, detectable warnings — a ramp can miss on any one of them and the whole thing is non-compliant. This course shows you how to measure each one and read the result against the code, so you find the problem before a plaintiff's expert does.

Why This Course Exists
Curb ramps are one of the most cited items in ADA litigation, and most of the failures are measurable in under ten minutes with a level and a tape. The problem isn't that the work is hard — it's that nobody shows you what to measure or what the number has to be. Hiring an inspector for every ramp isn't realistic. This course puts the method in your hands so you can check your own ramps, catch the problems while they're still cheap to fix, and know which ones actually need a professional.
