Home Inspection Program
One-Year, 15-credit Program
Begins Fall 2004

NEW!

The HIP program is intended to serve the needs of the community at large. It will provide an opportunity for those interested in pursuing a career as a home inspector to obtain the state mandated education and relevant field training as a preliminary requirement in seeking state certification.

Effective January 1, 2003, individuals working as home inspectors must be certified by the state to act in that capacity.

State certification requires that a home inspector candidate obtain both:

  • a minimum of 80 classroom hours of post-secondary education in all aspects of housing structure and housing systems
  • combined with a minimum of 30 parallel home inspections conducted under the direction and supervision of a state certified home inspector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our 15-credit hour program is designed to provide both the classroom education and the necessary field training (parallel home inspections).

  • Both the classroom education and field training components will be taught, directed and supervised by state certified home inspectors.
  • The classroom education component (HIP101-7 credit hours) will be held during Fall 2004 commencing on Saturday, August 21, 2004.
  • A review and testing course (HIP110-1 credit hour) will be given at the end of the home inspection education course.
  • All those wishing to continue in the home inspection program must take the review and testing course and successfully pass the exam in order to continue with the field-training course (HIP201).
  • The parallel home inspections (field training) course will also be held on Saturday beginning January 15, 2005. Please look for this course offering (HIP201-7credit hours) in the college's regularly printed spring schedule.
