Why select the ASHI@HOME Training System?
Because home inspection is a profession, not a hobby. Here's why:
Technical
This program includes the technical skills you need, covering
all the home components and systems that professional inspectors
need to know. We start with the basics - how things work
and what goes wrong. (You don't need a background in engineering
or construction!) We outline what failure of a component
means to the performance of the home. Then we get to the
heart of the matter, the inspection strategies - how to identify
problems and conditions that are soon to be problems. We
talk about the tools you need, the inspection procedures
and provide inspection checklists for you.
Communication
But the technical side is only part of being a successful home
inspector. Home inspectors need to get complex issues into
the heads of homebuyers and sellers. We discuss communications
at two levels - verbal and written. We talk about how to
work effectively onsite with buyers, sellers and real estate
professionals. This unique program also addresses report
writing - what to include to communicate well and build your
success.
Building knowledge
Our comprehensive approach starts with words and illustrations
- simple, clear, direct communication. The next step is the
CDROMS
with actual field situations covered in detail with
animation and narrative to help translate the book-learning
to the real world. All this prepares you for working in the
field. Most will need some internship under the guidance
of an experienced inspector, but nothing prepares you for
a career in home inspection like this one-of-a-kind 10-course
system.
