Included with Registration in Our Texas Home Inspector Course
There’s no doubt that ICA’s Texas Home Inspection Course is both convenient and affordable. The benefits of being an ICA student don’t stop there, though. You’ll gain access to courses, bonus material and tools to help you start your business. Bonus classes on topics like radon detection and mold inspection might normally run you hundreds of extra dollars. ICA students, however, receive these courses for free. It’s easy to expand your service offerings after mastering these concepts.
ICA students also receive a free, one-month membership to InterNACHI. It’s perhaps the largest and most respected professional organization for home inspectors. Essential for the beginning home inspector, an InterNACHI membership will allow you to connect with other professionals and receive further guidance on developing your career.
Report Form Pro Nitro is also included in your ICA registration. This inspection software normally retails for $400, but is available for ICA students at no extra cost. The app makes it easy to track your findings for each inspection job, sharing photos and notes with clients with just a click of a button. Report Form Pro Nitro is instrumental in the daily operations of a successful home inspector.
