To perform a home inspection you would need to be a qualified and certified home isnpector. Before the home owner or the buyer calls you for inspection they would love to know your qulaifications and it gives them a certain degree of confidence that you would be able to do a good job.
In the last 12 years the growth of the home inspection industry has been unbelievable and that has spawned many courses and fly by night operators.You would routinely see adverts saying that become a home inspector in 25 days , yes very true that these would certify you but are these agencies actually accredited or not , please verify for yourself before joining such a course.
Become a home isnpector requires years of experience and huge amounts of knowledge. This cannot be done in a 25 day course. The best you can do is research before singing on those home inspection courses. And all said there is no substitute for the experience gained on the field.
The courses online can train you in the basics of contruction design as well as give you training in the use of the home inspection report software. They also give you training in identifying errors and omissions which can not be uncovered by the uncovered eye.
Do due diligence while signing up for home inspection certification course and make sure you are not duped by scamsters and non accredited institutes.
