Hello all,

I am looking to become a home inspector. So I need the education before taking the licensing test(s). I came to interNACHI looking to begin that education. However, I am very confused by the sites wording and am not seeing a clear indication of any path or course of study through interNACHI. There is a lot of focus on becoming certified with interNACHI and CE, but it is unclear if there are courses offered for someone who has no education, or is not yet an inspector.

Is anyone able to help clear up this confusion for me? Where, if not here, am I able to enroll in courses that will educate me to become a home inspector?

Thanks for your help!

Andy
