Full Residential Inspection Course
9am to 6pm            
12 Day - 96.5 hours (weekdays or weekends) - $1670
29 Parallel inspections for ITAZ students for only - $2175

This 96.5 hour Full Residential Inspection training program teaches the student how to inspect a home in compliance with the State of Arizona Board of Technical Registration, and numerous nationally recognized home inspection associations Standards of Practices.
 
ITA provides a "Hands on" experience, the student will conduct a real home inspection, will learn report writing techniques and learn how to set up and run a successful Home Inspection business. 
The student will also conduct his/her first parallel inspection the last day of class.  That leaves ONLY 29 more parallels for certification!  There is no prior experience required in the building industry to become a home inspector.
 
The Home Inspection profession has not been adversely affected by the housing crisis.  In fact, due to the number of foreclosures and short sales, the number of home inspections has increased the past couple of years.  Housing foreclosures in Arizona are projected to stay at their current levels for another four years making this profession a very favorable one. 

 Inspection Training of Arizona will prepare the student in two ways to proceed in this profession, successfully operate their own business (self employed) or to join an established inspection company.  After registering for class, the student will receive our classroom text book, Principles of Home Inspection: Systems and Standards, Second Edition, Carson Dunlop. The student is encouraged to read this book prior to class.

The Home Inspection business is an emerging field with limitless potential.

Our flexible scheduling allows you to attend 12 consecutive days or 6 consecutive weekends.  If you are not able to attend all consecutive days in a course, our curriculum allows you to make up the missed section at a later series.  This provides you with flexibility for your busy schedule.  Please contact us if  you have any questions!

LEAD Renovation, Repair and Painting- For Contractors!
1 Day - 8 hours
$195

Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.  To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Our LEAD training course has been approved by the U.S. EPA and is only approved for purposes of certification under Section 402 of TSCA.  Please visit our Classroom Courses page to learn more about this class.

Parallel Inspections (with Reporting Form) 

Before you can become a certified home inspector in the State of Arizona, you must complete 30 parallel inspections with a licensed home inspector.  Inspection Training of Arizona will coordinate with participating inspection companies throughout the valley to help you fulfill this very valuable training.

Field training consists of real home inspections, up to four students may attend with one inspector. The student will observe the inspection of all the various visible and accessible systems and components in the home and its exterior. They will also have the opportunity to observe how the inspector interacts with the clients, seller and real estate agents and how information about the home is conveyed to the clients through the inspection report.

The students will be required to fill out their own inspection reports.  If you do not have a reporting software, ITAZ will provide you with a reporting form for your parallel inspections. 
 
Even if your state does not require parallel inspections for licensing, time spent on field inspections can greatly enhance a student's understanding of the whole process.
