Conduct online research for schools offering home inspector courses. Define your search by the criteria in your list. Create a matrix or grid of the schools that best fit your criteria. Check your state's home inspector licensing requirements and verify that each school meets the eligibility requirements. Typically, your state's consumer affairs office offers information and advice on home inspector licensing.
Create a short list of your top five schools. This can be based on the quality of the institution or the content of the course. Contact each course's study director of each course and ask for more detailed information about the course, including topics covered and examination requirements. Set up an appointment to visit each school to see the facilities. Note what is discussed so you can consider all pertinent points when working on your application.
