Home Inspection Training Companies
If you want to become a home inspector, AHI recommends researching home inspection training companies carefully
as the quality varies widely. Some schools do not offer consumer protection, or do not specialize in home inspector
training. Understand the tuition reimbursement procedure and refund policy before you enroll in any home inspection
training school. Make sure that the home inspection training counts towards any home inspector licensing requirement
in your state including field experience or apprenticeships.
The organizations below are AHI-accredited training providers:
Professional Home Inspection Institute (PHII)*
International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI)
American Society of Home Inspectors School (ASHI)
*Indicates Gold-Level training provider which includes AHI 1-year free membership for graduates
National Non-profit Home Inspector Associations
There are numerous home inspector associations that operate at the state level, some for-profit and some non-profit,
but only a few non-profit home inspector organizations that operate nationally. These include:
The American Society of Home Inspections ASHI
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors InterNACHI
The North American Association of Home Inspectors AHI
For Pennsylvania home inspectors and consumers
AHI conforms with the Pennsylvania definition of a national home inspector association as (1) operated on a not-for-profit
basis and not as a franchise; (2) has members in more than ten states; (3) requires 100 inspections to become a
full member; (4) requires an accredited entrance examination; (5) requires that members comply with a code of conduct;
and (6) requires continuing education for ongoing membership.
The Pennsylvania legislature does not certify or regulate compliance with PA Act 114. It is each inspector's responsibility
to comply with the law and become a full member of a national non-profit home inspectors association. AHI provides
full members with a compliance document to present to clients or Realtors to verify self-compliance with PA Act
114. Consumer questions or concerns about any inspector's compliance with the Act should be directed to the Pennsylvania
Bureau of Consumer Protection (717) 787-7109.
