"We Build Futures...One Success Story at a Time"

Thank you for visiting the HomeSpection® Training Institute, one of the premier schools in the country that provides 120-hours of Total Hands-On Training, live and in-person, with training in our classroom and out in the field inspecting real homes. You'll be trained by a Certified Master Inspector and Instructor with over 47 years of experience inspecting over 17,000 homes. Your Instructor, Joe Jefferys, is a journeyman Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter and Builder as well as a certified HVAC technician. You will be trained in all phases of Electric, Plumbing, HVAC and Environmental. Don't be fooled, ask any skilled contractor, you cannot learn any of these trades by just reading books or listening to someone on a computer reading you a book. We tell our students, if you are not happy with the course, we will refund back 100% of your tuition. Not one student has asked for a refund at the end of our course. Ask any other school if they will make the same offer. That is our guarantee to you!

You've made a great choice in your new career as home inspection has been rated as one of the top professions by Entrepreneur Magazine & Money Magazine (2001, 2014). This career offers amazing income potential and the ability to set your own schedule, giving you more freedom to enjoy a healthy work-life balance. What really makes our training unique is that we only offer live, in-person, classes with hands-on training both in the classroom and out in the field. Being able to actually see, feel and touch something while learning how to inspect it is why HomeSpection® Training Institute is the best option to get started in this career! Don't just take our word for it, you can also see what all of our students had to say on our "Testimonials" page (and be sure to check out our 5-star rating on Google Reviews). Please take the time to read our whole website and each of the six tabs above; "About Us", "FAQs", "Services", "What we Inspect", "School Enrollment" and especially our "Testimonials".

Our 120-hour & 80-hour Advanced Home Inspection Training Courses are approved for pre-licensing in Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and numerous other states. We have also been approved for the Peer Review and 40-hour Curriculum of Experience that are required for Ohio Home Inspector License. HomeSpection® is one of the only schools that offers a live, in-person, hands-on training course, while other schools only offer online classes or a combination of online and classroom. No one wants to spend hours in front of a computer watching videos of someone reading you a book. Home Inspection is a profession that is simply impossible to learn completely online. You certainly wouldn't trust an electrician to wire your house if they've only ever read a book about it, so why would you trust your education to someone putting a book online?

"Hands-On Training and Live 24/7 Support"

In our pre-licensing Advanced Home Inspection Training Course you are trained by an instructor with over 47 years of experience in the field as an Ohio Licensed Home Inspector, a Certified Master Home Inspector, and as a college level instructor in this profession. A Certified Master Inspector will be mentoring you, both during and after training, as you perform real home inspections in the field, finding all defects in the home, and showing you how to properly write inspection reports using the software. Approved and licensed by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools (Registration No. 13-11-2031T) and we are also an approved pre-licensing Course Provider for Ohio by the Ohio Board of Home Inspectors & the Department of Commerce Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing (Course Certification # HIQC002010121). This course also meets the pre-licensing requirements for many states that require Home Inspectors to be licensed. Upon graduation, students will have a thorough knowledge in all aspects of the home inspection industry and be well-prepared to seek employment as a Licensed or Certified Home Inspector or to start their very own Home Inspection business out of the comfort of their home. We prepare students looking to start their own business by training them in business start-up, marketing, and providing on-going live support directly from their instructor. Our students receive live, seven day, 24-hour support that is good for life with no extra fees. Most schools charge their students for online or blog support, meaning you may have to wait days to get the answers you need. HomeSpection® also provides our students with everything they will need to be successful; we buy all your books and class materials, all the inspection tools you will need to perform a General Home Inspection, and the best live support in the industry right from your instructor. The "Hands-On" training you receive includes inspecting your first six homes out in the field, being trained on the report writing software while here in class, as well as an additional 24 hours of field inspection and software training doing your four practice property inspections.

You've probably seen us in national magazines, newspapers, commercials, on the internet or maybe you have spoken with one of our successful Licensed or Certified Home Inspectors. Most visit our site due to disliking their jobs, being laid off or getting sick of jobs that go nowhere year after year. Being a Licensed or Certified Home Inspector is one of the most rewarding professional careers as reported by Entrepreneur Magazine and Money Magazine.

In addition to our Advanced Home Inspection Course, we also offer a Radon Measurement & Testing Course, a Certified Microbial Assessment Training Course, and a Radon Mitigation Training Course. The Advanced Home Inspection course provides total "Hands-On" training in the classroom and out in the field and goes into more detail than the typical Basic Home Inspection courses. Through our total "Hands On" training in the classroom and out in the field, we enhance the student's understanding in the following areas: Roofing, Plumbing, Structural, Environmental Issues, Grounds and Drainage, Foundations, HVAC, Air Conditioning Systems, Heating Systems, Water Quality, Water Flow, Biological Agents, Allergens, Asbestos, Wood Eating Pest, Insulation, Ventilation, Interior, Exterior, and Electrical. During training, our students inspect their first five homes out in the field, and then are trained on the report writing software how to prepare a General Home Inspection (GHI) Report. We also train our students in marketing and business promotion, providing them with the skills to build their own successful business if they choose. We are now enrolling for 2024/2025 Winter Classes starting Monday December 2nd (Two seats left!), Monday January 6th, 2025 (Three seats left!), and Monday February 3rd, 2025 (Five seats left!).

The pre-licensing Radon Measurement & Testing Course is designed to give students a thorough knowledge of the science of Radon, Radioactive Decay, types of radiation, health risks of radon, how radon enters and moves through buildings and homes, as well as the different types of measurement devices. Students are also trained on the importance of developing and using a Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan. This two day, 16 hour course is required by the Ohio Department of Health as a prerequisite to obtaining your Radon Testing license and we are nationally approved as one of the few schools in the country and the only school in Ohio by the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) and the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP). This course meets the pre-licensing requirements for Ohio and any state that licenses Radon Testers. Our 2023 classes have averaged a 94% passing rate on the National Exam! We are currently enrolling for classes on November 20th & 21st (call for availability), and January 15th & 16th (call for availability). This course has also been approved for 16-hours of CE credit towards the Ohio Home Inspector License (Course I.D. #HICC002010521).

Our Certified Microbial (Mold) Assessment Training Course is designed to give home inspectors a basic understanding of microbial contamination and the equipment used during an assessment. Students will learn how to recognize the presence of microbial contamination, how to collect samples for laboratory analysis, and provide the basic understanding of how to interpret laboratory results. The class will focus heavily on Construction Science and how construction techniques create elevated moisture conditions. After taking this class, you will look at a home differently because you will learn that microbial contamination is only a symptom, and moisture is really the problem. This is a one day, eight hour course, and we are currently enrolling for our next class on Friday December 13th (call for availability). This course has also been approved for 8-hours of CE credit towards the Ohio Home Inspector License (Course I.D. #HICC002020521).

Our pre-licensing Radon Mitigation Training Course is a three day, 24-hour, course that is taught hands-on both in the classroom and out in the field installing a radon mitigation system. This Radon Mitigation class covers indoor air quality diagnostic testing, the design, installation, and troubleshooting of radon mitigation systems, worker health and safety, radon in water, and preventing radon in new homes. After completing this course students will be able to install a radon mitigation system. This is an essential course for home builders and inspectors, HVAC and plumbing contractors, environmental consultants, indoor air quality professionals, public health officials, and nonprofit health advocacy organizations. If you are looking to get licensed by the Ohio Department of Health as a Radon Mitigation Specialist you must first complete the Radon Measurement Course. Our 2023 Mitigation classes have averaged a 93.3% passing rate! Our Radon Mitigation Course has been approved by the Ohio Department of Health and the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB). We are currently enrolling for our last Radon Mitigation Training Course for 2024. The class is being held January 21st - 23rd, 2025 (Call for availability). We are the only Ohio-based school to offer the Radon Mitigation Courses and Radon Testing Courses. This course has also been approved for 24-hours of CE credit towards the Ohio Home Inspector License (Course I.D. #HICC002030521).

We are an Accredited School with The Better Business Bureau® since 2012 and have always had an A+ rating. In fact, we have NEVER had one complaint! Our reputation, testimonials, and our student's 100% successful passing rate prove this. We are very proud of the fact that 100% of our students passed the Certified Home Inspectors final exam on their FIRST try! Again, we contribute this to our total "Hands-On" Training in the classroom and out in the field, and our Instructor's 47 years of experience as an Ohio Licensed Home Inspector and as a Certified Master Inspector!

Start Your Home Inspection Career

A Home Inspection Career lets you, FREE YOURSELF FROM A DESK JOB, BE YOUR OWN BOSS, MAKE YOUR OWN HOURS and PUT YOUR CAREER IN YOUR HANDS. According to The United States Department of Labor, home inspection jobs in 2008 were 106,400. The number of jobs expected by 2018 are 124,200...almost 20% growth. We have students that are now making over $400,000 a year. Money Magazine has rated Home Inspection as one of "The 15 Highest-Paying Jobs That Don't Require a College Degree" - Money Magazine, Sept 11, 2014. Entrepreneur Magazine ranks Home Inspection as "One Of The Best Opportunities" - Entrepreneur Magazine, Oct 22, 2001. ASHI and the National Association of Realtors recent study shows that nearly 4.9 million home inspections were performed alone just in 2000 and 97% of home buyers believe that the home inspection was a good value for the price they paid.

As home sales increase, the shortage continues for professional Certified Home Inspectors. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, existing-home sales jumped 14.5% in February 2023 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.58 million, snapping a 12-month slide and representing the largest monthly percentage increase since July 2020 (+22.4%). Pending home sales rose for the third consecutive month, up 0.8% from January 2023. The national Association of REALTORS® also predicts a 22.8% increase in new and existing home sales by the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Increases in home sales translates to more opportunities for property inspectors.
