PHII Certified Home InspectorAfter completing this comprehensive course, you will be provided with your PHII Home Inspector Certification. This detailed course is designed to teach anyone the ins and outs of home inspection, with the goal of teaching you how to become a skilled home inspector in as little as one to two weeks of interactive course instruction, testing, and in-the-field practice. In full compliance with national standards of practice, PHII's home inspection course teaches all the basic fundamentals of home inspection. The course curriculum for the interactive course is the same curriculum we use at our home inspector school live training.

The self-paced, interactive course material will help you master specific learning objectives for each lesson. As you go through the course, you'll notice that each learning objective corresponds to a national standard of practice. The standards of practice referenced for home inspection apply nationwide. PHII's home inspection course uses concise, simple print - for this reason, no previous experience is required to learn about and understand the essential systems of a home. Because the course is computerized and self-paced, you can take as much time as you need to grasp the material. If you have experience in one of the building trades - framing, plumbing, or electrical, for instance - it is likely that you can finish at a much faster pace.

Interactive Home Inspector SchoolAs you progress through the course and complete each lesson, you will have the use of interactive flash cards. Practice quizzes will test you after every lesson and give you instantaneous feedback, so you can test your knowledge immediately. Your computer (or other mobile device, such as a tablet or netbook) records the results in real-time so you can easily monitor and track your progress. 

There's no substitute for hands-on experience - the field activities you can perform on your own home will allow you to put your new-found knowledge to the test in real-world situations.

After you have progressed through the lessons, finished the course and passed the final exams, all the knowledge and skills needed to start a career as a professional home inspector will be in your possession.


BONUS: Online access to the Marketing & Business Development Course & Defect Recognition Course is included for FREE when you signup for the home inspector certification course package!

Home Inspection Certification/License Information for New York
We have had several students take our approved course.

We have an education package for you to attend classes here in SD for two weeks. That would cover the 100 hour classroom requirement, then you can stay longer for the 40 hours of inspections, or you can meet that requirement with an inspector in NY.

Since students have to travel, we offer additional courses to give you a full inspection business to offer your clients, including RADON, Manufactured Housing, and Mold Inspection. These courses are provided in our computerized training system, while the home inspection course is a live training course. You also receive our popular IRC software packages for Home and Mold.

Our instructor has performed over 5000 inspections, and is very knowledgeable in home inspection.

We are located in a small town in Madison, SD, it is a safe area, with a small technical college here. You would fly into Sioux Falls (normally on United, but NW and American Airlines fly here as well), and we would pick you up and you would stay at a Bed and Breakfast, there are two of them, one is on a lake, Pelican Landing, and the other is located here in town, the Lamp Post Inn. We also have some hotels (super 8 & Americinn) here in town, but it is nice to stay at a Bed and Breakfast for longer stays.

The cost for the class is $2995, the cost for the additional 40 hours is $1995.

There are two advantages of taking our class, one is we go straight through, for two weeks, so you can get your classwork out of the way quickly.
