How to become a home inspector?

There are no formal education requirements to become a home inspector, though most have at least a high school diploma or equivalent. Some choose to complete a certificate program or associate degree in building inspection technology, drafting, or construction technology to learn industry standards and tools. You need a strong working knowledge of home construction and building codes. Some home inspectors work in the construction industry for several years before transitioning into a home inspector position. Most states require home inspectors to obtain a license, which usually entails completing a certain number of hours of coursework and passing an exam. Make sure to research the qualifications where you live.
