START-UP HOME INSPECTION TRAINING PROGRAM

DAYS 1- 6 : Hands-on Technical Training

There's more to a home inspection than just looking around a building. It's an entire process of communication skills combined with construction knowledge and business savvy. The AHIT intensive, multi-day home inspection courses offer training by experienced ASHI®, NAHI and CREIA members covering every aspect of the home inspection business. You can't afford not to attend one of these classes.

After completing the home inspection course, you'll understand just what is needed to perform an actual inspection. The course is taught per the ASHI®, NAHI, and CREIA Standards of Practice and you'll experience an in-depth look at each component of a house.
