Massachusetts Home Inspector License Training

As stated above, once you complete our 8 day (75 hour) home inspection classroom training course you are ICA Certified and have fulfilled the home inspection training requirements for Massachusetts. You also will need to take the National Home Inspectors Exam, for which we prepare you. After that you will complete 25 directly supervised inspections with a Massachusetts licensed home inspector. You can then inspect homes on your own. Your next 100 inspections will need to be indirectly supervised where your supervisor will review a copy of your reports for you.

The average salary for a home inspector in Massachusetts is approximately $87,000 per year.

The average inspection fee for a 2,000 square foot home inspection in Massachusetts is $420. The amount you charge for a home inspection will vary based on age and square footage of the home. Our course will teach you how to structure your home inspection fees.

You can even put in photos easily. Report Form Pro Nitro is the number one home inspection reporting software program for home inspectors in Massachusetts.
