How to obtain a Home inspector license?
Complete State-Approved classes:
Enroll in and successfully complete a minimum of 93 hours of state-approved home inspector education classes. These classes should cover essential topics related to home inspection,
building systems, codes, regulations, and industry best practices.
High school equivalent:
A high school diploma or its equivalent is important for obtaining an inspection license in many jurisdictions, including Ohio. While it is not a specific requirement set by the Ohio Division of
Real Estate and Professional Licensing for home inspector licensure, having a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent is generally considered a standard educational qualification
for most professional positions.
National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE)
Passing the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE) is often a requirement to obtain a home inspector license in many states, including Ohio. The NHIE is a standardized exam
developed by the Examination Board of Professional Home Inspectors (EBPHI), and it assesses the knowledge and competency of individuals seeking licensure as home inspectors.
The NHIE covers a wide range of house inspection-related topics, including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, structural elements, and building systems. You can use the study resources offered by
EBPHI, including study guides and practice tests, to be ready for the test. To assist you in reviewing and improving your knowledge, there are also a lot of training programs and materials accessible.
Submit License Application:
If you pass the NHIE, you can proceed with submitting your home inspector license application to your state's licensing authority. The application process typically involves providing documentation of your education, experience, and NHIE results, along with any necessary fees.
FBI background check:
The FBI background check aims to identify any criminal history associated with an individual. This includes searching for convictions, arrests, outstanding warrants, and other relevant information at the federal level. The employer must handle the information obtained through the
background check confidentially and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing background checks.
Experience in building trades a plus HVAC, Plumbing, Electric, or Carpentry:
Having experience in building trades, particularly in HVAC, plumbing, electrical work, or carpentry, is often considered a valuable asset and can be advantageous when pursuing a home
inspector license. While it may not be a strict requirement set by the licensing authority, this experience can provide you with a deeper understanding of residential systems and components,
enhancing your ability to assess them during home inspections.
