3 Steps to Becoming a Home Inspector in Idaho
- Register for ICA’s Online Home Inspector Certification Program. This will give you the knowledge you’ll need to perform home inspections and own/operate a successful home inspection business. Upon completion of the course, you will be an ICA Certified Home Inspector. We will issue you a certification number for use on your business cards and inspection reports.
- Take and pass the National Home Inspectors Exam. Idaho is one of a few states that does not require a license or continuing education (CE) to be a home inspector. However, with a booming home inspection market and increasing competition, securing your license today empowers you to spot red flags and safety concerns for buyers more quickly. In many cases, licensed home inspectors can increase the amount they are able to charge per inspection.
- Congratulations! Now you can start your own business or work as a home inspector.
