The Holmes Academy course is recognized by the State of Florida and all Canadian provinces, and is based and audited under the National Occupational Standards for licensing and certification.

As one of North America's largest schools, The Holmes Academy has received course approvals, recognition and accreditations by the largest national and most recognized government-approved associations.

Our course is 225 hours in total, but students learn at their own pace.

Almost 95% of all home inspector's work comes from Real Estate agents. The good thing about this is that you do not have to sell home inspections to them, as they know what we do and home inspections is often required in most home sales. We provide detailed training on how to set up a business that can work with agents and other companies to set you up for success.

It is preferable to have building-related or some mechanical knowledge, but we guide our students every step of the way in all areas of home inspection including HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing and much more. 

The Holmes Academy has trained hundreds of successful inspectors across North America since 2007.

As mentioned earlier we monitor our student's progress continuously after our course but on the average and depending if the student will be inspecting part-time or full-time it can take from 1-3 months from course completion to working for real money in the industry.

There are no further costs involved with our training program, however there are costs involved for licensing, association registration, purchasing your first tool kit etc.
