Washington State Approved Home Inspection Training -- Bellingham Technical College

By
Home Inspector with King of the House Home Inspection, Inc. Home Inspector Lic #207

The Bellingham Technical College course in the fundamentals of home inspection was the first course in the state to receive approval from the Department of Licensing, real estate division, when home inspector licensing took effect a couple years ago.

This course attracts many students, from around the state, who wish to be trained as home inspectors. The next course will begin on May 2, 2011 and that class will run through May 27.  The full four week session will include not only the 120-hours of fundamentals training but, also, 40 hours of on-site field training. Below you will see a photo of students participating in field training. The photo is recent, taken just this week.

The way the law is written, in this state, regardless of background, anyone who wishes to enter the field of home inspection must take a 120 hour fundamentals of home inspection training course and complete the 40 hours of approved field training prior to being allowed to sit for the state exams. At BTC we have a fast-track program that takes a student from start to finish in four weeks.. That does not mean that they know everything, the career involves ongoing learning and experience, but the class is a good basis for getting education in the field of home inspection and obtaining the state license. For an overview of the BTC course, please watch this short video.

Anyone interested in this upcoming course, should contact Bellingham Technical College at 360-752-8796.

Wow! your law is much tougher than ours. I wish ours required more training, but I reckon this is still considered a good 'ol boy state...
