Inspection Education & Training This is a general forum for inspectors to discuss their educational experience, and to ask questions of InterNACHI's Education Committee. This forum is dedicated to the memory of InterNACHI member and educator Gerry Beaumont. Gerry was an avid proponent of education for inspectors and will be sorely missed.

Default Home Study vs Live Courses

I am considering Home Study...I am in my slow time now and need to get myself educated before my busy spring season begins....I do not have the money to travel extensively for education...Home study is definitely cheaper.

Anybody have any referrals for this? I have looked at many, but don't want to be "sorry" I purchased the wrong course, if you know what I mean?

I appreciate it, thank you.

Thumbs up Re: Home Study vs Live Courses

I used the AHIT home study and I would be willing to offer it up for sale.

I have most of the material in the picture. I cant seem to get the hang of attaching the links.


I also may use the Radon home study that Nick posted in the educational portion of the message board for my recertification.

I find that there is little differance between Live Courses and Home study as far as material content in concerned. The big advantage to live courses for me is the open disscusion between students and professor and between students themselves. Where else can you find open disscussion between many people all involved in the same line of work? - I'll give you a hint...


Carson Dunlop has a well respected distance education program. Check to see it meets your local requirements.

I can reccommend Allied Business School's Home Inspection coarse. It is online,good price,great material information. Very good customer service, ect. You can take it at your own pace. You can not take the final protored exam until 30 days from when you first start,and you can also take up to 1 year to complete. So check them out.

I took the Home Study course, & enjoyed it so much I went to the extended 2-week school in SLC. Only good stuff to say about Stan & his class!

Go with AHIT (www.ahit.com). I took the distance learning course and it is super. Very respected school and the personnel and instructors are topnotch. Give Jim Heubner a call. Tell him Bob Hutchinson sent you.
