Live/Webinar Classes

Students who do not notify ICA of their intent to reschedule and do not attend will forfeit their tuition. If a live/live webinar class is not selected after purchase and not attended, the tuition will be forfeited after twelve (12) months.

Rescheduling:

Students are permitted one class reschedule free of charge as long as the student notifies ICA (10) business days prior to the start of class. Otherwise, rescheduling fees are implemented. The rescheduling fees are as follows:

• First rescheduling charge: $300
• Second rescheduling charge: $500
• Third rescheduling charge: Total cost of class

Students that do not show up to class without informing ICA are considered no call, no shows. Students must contact ICA directly, not the instructors. And ICA must be able to confirm that contact with ICA was made. The rescheduling fees for no call, no show students are as follows:

• First occurrence – $600
• Second occurrence- Total cost of class
• For Illinois students ONLY:
  Retaking the final exam for the Field Training course requires a fee of $249. Upon notification that you did not pass your exam; you will receive information on how to schedule the retake as well as making payment for the make-up date you want to attend. Discounts and promo codes are not applicable.

When can I expect to know the details of my live class?
The instructors and our operations team will send you emails 2-3 days prior to your class. The class locations will be provided in this email along with other important information related to your live class.**As a note, the locations of the houses will be within an hour or so from your purchased class location.

What is the exact location of my field training?
As a home inspector, you typically have to travel to the residences as part of the job. With our field trainings, the expectation should be that you may need to travel an hour or so from your purchased class location in order to get the full experience. We of course try and keep the house locations as close to the city we advertise but sometimes we need to go outside of that range to get our students the best learning experience to inspect different types of houses.

Live/Webinar Cancellation

ICA reserves the right to cancel any live or webinar course before the start of the class. An ICA representative will notify students of cancellation via phone or e-mail and proactively work to transfer the student to another class. If alternate arrangements cannot be made, then students will be eligible for a full refund of the cost of the course. No partial refunds will be issued. ICA will not be held responsible for any expenses incurred due to the cancellation of the course.
