What Certifications Should I Look for in a Home Inspector?

Are you looking to become a certified home inspector? If so, NAIT is an approved educational provider of home inspection training that can help you get the necessary qualifications to apply for a home inspector license through the Government of Alberta. On the program homepage, you'll find the prerequisites or recommended prior knowledge for each certificate and, for individual courses, in the course information. Completing a series of courses to earn a certificate of achievement or completion can give you a competitive advantage. Some students are comfortable solving these types of problems on their own, but software compatibility issues may also arise for their individual course, and the teacher may not be able to provide you with direct technical assistance if you decide not to follow the program's recommendation.

The NAIT home inspection certificate, offered in collaboration with Carson Dunlop & Associates, prepares you to start an exciting new career as a provincially licensed professional home inspector. Students who successfully complete all of the courses required in the certificate of their choice will receive a digital credential. Once you have your certification, you can choose to start your own home inspection business or work for an established home inspection company. With the right qualifications and experience, you can become an expert in the field and help ensure that homes are safe and up to code.
