Home Inspection Training

This course is divided into various modules to make up the 120 hours of pre-licensure needed for the State of Florida Pre Licensure home inspector training.

It is broken down to allow students to work from home, at their pace and not have to spend weeks in a classroom environment, away from home which is both costly and time consuming and many times not effective because of information overload.

To receive online discounted class fee, you must be pre-registered and prepaid prior to class.
