Bellingham Technical College is an approved provider of home inspection training in the State of Washington.

The state law requires anyone who wishes to enter the field of home inspection to complete a 120 hour course in the fundamentals of home inspection. To sit for the state test, that individual must, also, obtain 40 hours of in-the-field training. If any prospective inspector does not meet those basic requirements, he or she is not allowed to take the state exam. 

The next four-week program, offered by Bellingham Technical College, is scheduled to begin on April 30, 2012.

Above is a photo of students participating in the hands-on field training portion of the course. For additional information on course offerings, call 360-752-8796. Or, contact Steven Smith, lead instructor, at 360-676-6908.

Where or how do you find the houses for these field tests?  Do people volunteer?  Do you offer "free" inspections?

Jay,

We do houses that are owned by the college's staff. They receive the best of the student reports, based on instructor determination. No charge but the houses are not for sale either, more of a tuneup sheet for occupants.
