Illinois licenses their home inspectors.  According to the rules, you must complete a 60 hour training course (which includes at least 10 hours of hands-on, and a proctored exam) and take the state licensing exam. 

Our school, A Better School of Building Inspection, is on the list of approved training providers.  The course is in two parts: a home study packag and 10 hours hands-on instruction and proctored exam at a location near you in Illinois. 

1. The home study package includes the following:

• The 4-Point Residential Inspection Home Study Package (12 DVDs + 500 page manual, regular price $599)
• The Residential Inspection Forms on CD (some companies sell their software for over $800)
• The 2-DVD Virtual Inspection Set. (regular price $100)
• A study guide for the NHIE exam. (regular price $100)

You get all of this for only $499 + $15 S&H.
