North Carolina Online Continuing Education Courses

North Carolina requires 12 hours of continuing education every year to renew your home inspector license. 4 of these hours must be the Mandatory NCHILB Update Course. The Mandatory Update Course must be attended as a live webinar. NC Licensed Home Inspectors must attain Continuing Education (CE) annually by September 10, except for those licensed after June 1st through September 30th of the current license period.  The online courses listed below are all approved by the North Carolina Home Inspector Licensure Board.

Please note that the same elective continuing education course may be taken only once for continuing education credit during any three year period. A licensee may carry over up to eight elective credit hours per year until the next year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you report my continuing education hours to the NCHILB?
Yes. Our customer service team at ICA School will report your completed continuing education hours to the North Carolina Home Inspection Licensing Board.

You will receive a certificate of completion at the end of each course that you should maintain for your records.

How do I renew my home inspector’s license?
All home inspector licenses expire on September 30 of each year. Licenses can be renewed by filing an application for renewal with the Board (found on the HILB Engineering & Codes page) and paying the required renewal fee ($160). The Board must renew the license of a person who files an application for renewal, pays the required renewal fee, has fulfilled the continuing education requirements set by the Board, and is not in violation of this Article when the application is filed.

What is your refund policy?
If you are not happy prior to completing the course, for whatever reason, you will receive a 100% refund within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked.
