Not all home inspector certifications are the same.; Some popular association “certifications” only require an online exam which are open-book. A person could literally wake up one morning; pay their membership fee; take an online exam; and be a home inspector by lunch time.; Only CREIA and ASHI require passing in-person and proctored tests; criminal background checks; continuing educatoin (CE) credits; in-the-field actual hands-on training under close supervision; personal review of home inspection reports to guarantee compliance iwth Standards of Practice (SOP); and passage of ethics examinations.
