I’m new to the interests of Home Inspector. I’ve requested and received a few informational packettes about courses offered but they are from outside my State of New York. My question is: Is there one specific course offered recognizable in my state to be certified as a Home Inspector? I know my question may sound odd but again there are so many good courses offered by several institutions from all over the nation I feel a need to narrow it down to New York. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No ... NYS does not license home inspectors or approve the courses (yet).

Also check with your local community college, as the continuing education department may offer that. I teach some courses at LIU, and they have an excellent HI Program ... very comprehensive training that will eventually get approved once there is a law, and it also preps you for the NHIE test which will probably be a requirement of any NYS HI licensing laws ... ![icon_wink.gif](upload://ssT9V5t45yjlgXqiFRXL04eXtqw.gif)

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong
