Become a Home Inspector in Wisconsin

As stated above, once you complete the Wisconsin State Home Inspectors Exam and the National Home Inspectors Exam, you can apply for your Wisconsin home inspection license.

Becoming a Wisconsin home inspector is a unique process that requires:

• Applying to the Department of Safety and Professional Services
• Passing the Wisconsin State Exam
• Passing the National Home Inspector Exam
• Certification renewal every 2 years

The Department of Safety and Professional Services continues its move away from paper forms and antiquated license application processes. On May 8, 2023, DSPS is adding 66 business credentials to LicensE, Wisconsin’s self-guided, cloud-based occupational license application and renewal platform. (license.wi.gov).

The average full-time salary for a home inspector in Wisconsin is approximately $55,000 per year.

Actually, the way it works is when you go to renew your Wisconsin home inspection license, you will submit a copy of your certificate of completion to the state along with your home inspection license renewal application.

We have an arrangement with www.homeinspectionform.com wherein our graduates receive a free copy of their Report Form Pro Nitro home inspection reporting software. That is the report that most of our graduates start with since it is so easy to use. Normally selling for $400, the Report Form Pro Nitro home inspection report software can be printed and filled out by hand or filled out on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. You can even easily add photos to the inspection report. They also have a mobile app version of their home inspection report that can be used on an Android or Apple mobile device. At the end of the day, all that matters is that you have a home inspection report form that you’re comfortable with, and these are both good home inspection report options.
