Enter an exciting and growing profession! Home inspection is a consulting service that helps homebuyers make informed decisions about their prospective new home. This program is approved by the Association of Home Inspectors and incorporates the Standards of Practice of ASHI/CAHPI (American Society of Home Inspectors / Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors). Standards of Practice define a minimum and uniform standard for private, fee-paid home inspectors. Home inspections performed to these standards are intended to provide the client with information regarding the condition of the systems and components of the home as inspected.
A grade 12 diploma or equivalent, including senior level English is required. It is helpful if you have experience in the construction industry. This program will also be of interest to people who need an understanding of one or more of the systems/components of a house, but not all. You are responsible for assessing your eligibility and suitability for this program.
