Becoming an Inspector

[tom sharp]

I am interested in becoming a building inspector. Is this Internachi course a valid course for state and local requirements or is it only for Home inspections.Not sure if i'm wording this all correctly, hopefully you understand.

Are you looking to becoming a building code inspector?

Maybe he means commercial code inspector? If so: http://www.nachi.org/commercial-code...-exam-prep.htm

Hello all. First time poster, long time lurker. I too am investigating home inspecting. This original post brought up a question which will likely demonstrate how naive I am at this point. I'm in PA and interested in residential inspecting, but many many properties are listed as residential/commercial in my area. Does that zoning disqualify a certified home inspector, without commercial certification, from doing the job? How is the inspector supposed to know the end usage?

Commercial inspectors are not licensed. I suggest you join www.ComInspect.com though. Membership in the Network if free.
