What Students Say About Their Experiences with
A Better School of Building Inspection
We have trained thousands of inspectors across the United States. Our students continue to recommend the courses to their family, friends, and colleagues. Here are some testimonies from previous students.
"The DVDs are great and very helpful. I have been around buildings all my life and never really realized just how much he brings out in this course. The plus is that I have material that I can use over and over again at my convenience, rather than going to a class somewhere. Good job on all that you do. I give it a 10."
- Joe, Tennessee
"Great course. Great resources. I appreciated the concise and targeted nature of the lessons and I am very grateful to have the Texas Study Guide."
- John, Texas
"I've been involved in building new home since the mid 90s. I used the home program which helped me more than I can say. I'm a stay-at-home dad. This home course allowed me time when I chose (usually after 10pm) to work on the course. The hands-on DVDs were an excellent source of knowledge, especially with the various defects. This kit is well organized, thorough and informative. I will be using the DVDs prior to an actual inspection for a refresher. I would recommend this course to anyone. I want to thank you for having this opportunity for the home course."
- Matt, Colorado
"I felt like you all really care about me learning and being a good home inspector. The teaching technique is amazing. The research had been done. I have confidence now to be a great home inspector. Yesterday I took my state exam for the first time, no additional test prep classes. I passed!! and did very well."
- Cindy, Texas
"Even though I have over 25 years experience in the Construction Industry I have found your course to be very helpful. I would recommend your program to anyone whether or not they have experience in construction or not."
- Bradley E, Professor of Construction Systems
"Hands down the best training for someone who expects to do a superior inspection. I can make this statement because of my 15 years of experience in the construction field."
- Joseph S
"I thought the overall series was educational and helpful. I appreciate the ability to use the videos and manual in the future. As someone with over 50 years of experience in construction, this course helped to clarify the direction I want my inspection business to take".
- John
"It was a pure joy taking your home inspector course! The study material was incredibly informative and the videos were even sometimes entertaining. I went into the series with very little knowledge of the inspector industry or even how to get started. However, because of the thoroughness of the material I am confident that I can perform a better inspection than most in the market."
- Grant M, Texas
"I took the Texas Home Study Course which included the DVDs, which have proven to be priceless. I can go back and review the material anytime I want... I love the way you break down the material. It made comprehension so much easier. Your Live DVDs tie everything together and give you confidence that you can do a good job. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in this field." Fernando J., Texas
"I scored a 90% on the insanely impossible Texas State Exam, and already have in my hands my Professional Real Estate Home Inspector License, much thanks to your most excellent course!!! Your course and your Texas Exam Study Guide certainly helped me beat the odds that were against me. I also took a 2-day exam prep course (from another company), and in the class of 24 students (most of which have had 20 or more years of experience in construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical trades, etc.) most did poorly on the 2-day course's pre- and post-tests. I scored the highest in the class!!!!" Larry F., Texas
"The value of the home-based video series has allowed me to enter a home inspection career. The fact that I am able to stay home and learn at my own pace is a definite positive. The video series with live demonstrations and actual inspection experience is a super way to learn. I gained both knowledge and admiration for the respected field of home inspection through this course work. I look forward to obtaining my Professional Home Inspector license in Texas and starting up my home inspection business. Thank you for affording me this opportunity." Justin R. Texas
"Overall the material was excellent. The videos gave many examples of what I might find. The instructor in the videos seemed quite experienced and knowledgeable. The book and manuals were in depth. I feel confident I could perform an above average inspection for my future clients." Michael M., Texas
"It is obvious to me that if I had not taken your course I would not have passed the exams and wouldn't have become a good home inspector. The training answered virtually all of the questions I had. I especially appreciated the marketing techniques you provided that I never would have thought of on my own. The DVDs weren't just some guy giving a seminar. Despite some experience in construction, I saw hundreds of scenes of defects in the DVDs I have never seen before. You also showed me several examples when it was important. I felt that seeing such a large number of scenes and a variety of them gave me more knowledge than I could get in a year or more of experience as a home inspector.
The training manual and diagrams were easy to understand and were very good at helping walk me through an inspection and learn the defects I needed to look for. They also helped me appreciate, by example, the many different possible situations I needed to become familiar with.
The memory devices helped me to better distinguish what is and isn't required by the standards. They gave me confidence that I could learn the standards and answer the questions on the exam knowledgeably. You've made understanding inspector business law far more easy than I would have expected too. The ethics portions were also especially helpful and I think I aced that part of the exam as a result."

"Just wanted to commend you on putting together such an excellent DVD series and manual. It was more in depth than I expected and extremely easy to follow. I would highly recommend your course to anyone interested in becoming a home inspector. I also wanted to thank you for the business DVD portion, it was very informative and gave me the knowledge on how to avoid any of the potential pitfalls in dealing with clients."
- Tom M, South Carolina
"Just a note to thank you for your wonderful program. I confess that even as I was ordering the curriculum I was skeptical, the price of yours was a third of most others. But as I received the DVDs and previewed the text, I was relieved by the detail and thorough preparation this plan exhibited. The DVDs alone are a library of examples that would have taken years to accumulate."
- Derit W,
"I enjoyed taking the course and think it is an excellent way for potential home inspectors to 'get their feet wet' in the field without even leaving their living room."
- Daniel B, Architect, Missouri
"Taking the at home course was a great idea: no travel, work at my speed and I can go over and over as many times as I need. Passed the National Exam on first try. Thanks for everything."
