Looking to become a home inspector in Idaho? Idaho is one of roughly 20 states that still have not adopted licensing requirements for home inspectors.
Steps to become a certified home inspector in Idaho:
- Register for the ICA Real Estate Inspection Certification Program. This will not only give you all the knowledge you’ll need to perform a home inspection and own/operate your own successful home inspection business, but you’ll also learn all about commercial inspections, as well as mold, radon, and code. Upon completion of the course you will be an ICA Certified Home Inspector and we will issue you a certification number, which you can use on your business cards and inspection reports.
- Start your own business or go to work for an existing company!
ICA is a trusted institution for aspiring home inspectors across the country. While Idaho home inspection requirements are more lax than some states, ICA brings students of all backgrounds up to the high standards clients and realtors have come to expect for inspections. Though the state may not have many rules and regulations surrounding the industry, realtors and homebuyers will demand experience and expertise. With training from ICA, you’ll reassure clients that they’re in capable hands.
