Requirements for Oregon Home Inspector Licensing
To become a home inspector in Oregon, you’ll need to earn experience points. 20 points are required to become a licensed home inspector. Thankfully, all 20 points can be earned through our Oregon Home Inspector Training. Simply take our online course, pass the National Home Inspector Exam, and you’ll have all you need to begin working in the field as a home inspector.

ICA’s Oregon Home Inspector Training Advantages
ICA is affiliated with both the American Society of Home Inspectors and InterNACHI. These two professional organizations are well-respected in our industry, and offer further professional development opportunities. All ICA students receive a free one-month membership to InterNACHI – included in your course registration.
The bonus material associated with our class doesn’t stop there. In addition to the lifetime access you’ll gain to our course materials, you’ll also have the option to take as many free bonus classes as you’d like. Our Radon Inspection course is one of the most popular. Purchased separately, this class will set you back $200, but is included for students registered in our Oregon Home Inspection Course.
We’re here for the beginning of your career, but ICA doesn’t just disappear once you’ve completed the class. All our tools and resources, including practice tests to help prepare you for your licensing exam, are available any time you might need them.

This $399 app is yours free with registration! Of course, the ongoing support from our instructors is truly priceless.
ICA students may upgrade to Spectora home inspection software as part of our exclusive partnership – or use Report Form Pro Nitro software, which is included in our home inspection training at no charge.
