In New York, home inspectors are licensed under the New York Division of Licensing Services.  Current requirements are that you must complete a training course of at least 100 hours in the classroom, 40 hours of hands-on with a licensed New York home inspector, and pass the state licensing exam. 

Our school, A Better School of Building Inspection, is on the list of approved training providers.  We offer the following approved 2-part course:

1)  $1749  A 10-Day (100 Hours) Home Inspector Course with Extensive Hands-On (offered in Salt Lake City, Utah).
Includes 3 manuals, residential inspection forms on CD, and various classroom handouts.  Click here to see the 9-day schedule.  You can choose to come one day early or stay one extra day to complete the hours needed for New York

2)  $700  We offer the 40 hours of hands-on inspections in the Naussa County, New York area.  By law, you can also find your own licensed inspector to complete this part of the requirement.  But, if you have no one in mind, you can choose our option.
