How to become a construction inspector?

There are no formal education requirements to become a construction inspector, but you do need a combination of training courses and hands-on experience in the construction industry. Community colleges offer certificate programs for construction inspectors. You may also pursue an associate degree in the field, like an associate of applied science in building inspection technology. These programs provide a broad understanding of building codes and standards, zoning regulations, and electrical and plumbing systems. Some states require construction inspectors to pass a licensing test on the foundations of electrical and structural construction, inspection regulations, and other areas. Check the qualifications in the state you wish to work.
