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 that count towards the education requirement for AHI membership. Applicants for membership who do not meet the AHI-accredited education requirement must qualify with documented home inspection experience.

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.
