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.
