Dear Current or Prospective Home Inspector,

We offer both extensive home study and classroom courses to help you become a quality home inspector, or to increase your skills if you are already a home inspector.  As everyone knows, a Home Inspector identifies defects in homes.   Home buyers want to know what's wrong with the house before they buy it.  A Better School of Building Inspection truly teaches Home Inspection.  Other programs have you spend hundreds of hours reading about how things are built--that's not Home Inspection--why waste your time?  We get right into home inspection.

Check out the table below to find the course you need in your quest to become a great Home Inspector.  In addition to Residential Inspection courses, we also offer a New Construction Inspection correspondence course and live courses on Commercial Inspection and New Construction Inspection.  We also sell forms on CD for both Residential and New Construction Inspections.

Live Courses are Veterans Administration (V.A.) approved.
