I have and are still in the construction industry for 20 years, and would love to become a qualified home inspector .... I am just having trouble finding a local school. How about ITA Online/correspondence courses... I would really like to hear from anyone who has taken an online course !!! I do know that classroom training will be better, but I don't have the time to travel ....Unless it is local !!! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated !!! Thank you, Craig * * * ---

Personally without seeing the actual course structure, instructors Bio's and seeing the difference in instruction time, I would have to ask a few more questions. Hmmmm. Let me ask a question here to all home inspectors with over 1 yr of working in the field. How much teaching and learning can occur in a 30 hr period?

During the licensing debate in FL, a minimum of 60 hours and 80 hours was discussed. Most states with licensing require 80 hours or more classroom time to qualify. I will be very surprised if NY will require less than most states. I wouldn't call any inspector with 30 hours of education qualified! * * * ---

**Originally Posted By: mkolf** **This post was automatically imported from our archived forum.** * * * Hello Paul: It is called Intensive Home Inspection it is 21 hours of knowledge training with legal aspects, marketing, report writing and the usual electrical, plumbing, structure, exteriors, roofs and interiors. It is 21 hours of very intensive training but you will be credited with 30 hours and an additional 10 continuing education hours from NACHI and you will be certified. I know you are in another state but if I can help you in any way just let me know. * * * ---
