Our Mission
For over 24 years, A Better School of Building Inspection's mission has been to provide quality, affordable professional home inspector training to people across the United States. We train people at all stages of their careers, whether they be brand new to the field or simply re-licensing. Our courses are designed to help people from the ground up. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds - building and remodeling contractors, handymen, teachers, police officers, airline pilots, pharmacists, accountants, biochemists - all looking for a second career. Whatever your background, age, or experience level, our home inspection courses can be catered to your strengths, schedule, and needs to prepare you for licensing and a successful career as a home inspector. In addition to home inspections, we also have training in commercial building inspections, new construction inspections, and manufactured housing inspections.

History
After working for several years in carpentry, construction, and home and building inspections, Stan Harbuck found that there was a lack of quality, affordable home-based training courses for home inspectors. He set out to document thousands of defects visually and spent years collecting and organizing this information into a thorough yet straightforward visually-oriented course. He and his team of professionals began producing home-study courses for residential, commercial, new construction, and energy inspections. Now, more than 24 years later, thousands of people across the United States have completed these courses and found successful, fulfilling, and profitable careers in home inspection.
