In Oregon, you can take courses completely online (like through InterNACHI) and can earn enough credits to be able to sit for your home inspector exam. A major advantage to taking our home inspection training course is that you won’t miss out on the interactive learning experience that Nonprofit Home Inspections offers. We have organized our course syllabus to maximize your learning so you will be able to understand the complex systems you will find in a house. Our course is designed to expand and clarify the core concepts from our InterNACHI partnership. We will also be training you to use advanced home inspection equipment that our inspectors use in the field everyday. As well as modern home inspection business practices that you won’t get from just taking a online course. We also offer students ride along opportunities so you can get first hand experience and see what a real home inspection looks like.

Not just yet. Now that you have completed our Oregon home inspector training course, the next step is to sign up for the Nation Home Inspectors Exam. Once you have passed the national exam, you will either need to obtain a Construction Contractors Board (CCB) number or work for another licensed business.

Absolutely. In Oregon you can piece together buying books, finding and coordinating field training with experienced inspectors, taking classes at InterNACHI, etc. all on your own. When you get into it, however, you will likely find that many home inspectors don’t like “training the competition,” so finding competent experienced inspectors to give you field training is unlikely. Signing up for our combined package will get you trained and on a path towards a successful career in the home inspection industry without the associated hassle.

No. Becoming a successful home inspector is very difficult. If you want to start your own home inspection company as a sole proprietorship, you must not only be a good home inspector, but you also need to know how to run a business, be good at interpersonal skills, and you must have good marketing skills among many other skills. Becoming a home inspector can be a great career, but it is difficult to do well and is not something anyone should take lightly.

We do not recommend going into debt in order to become a home inspector. While being a home inspector can be a very fulfilling and lucrative career for some, it can be extremely difficult for others. Like any small business, there will also likely be unexpected expenses while getting started, so having a strong financial footing will better help you make your new home inspection business successful.
