We have buyers ask this question all the time. Here in Colorado you or I could become a home inspector today, with or without experience.
The State of Colorado has had a few bills that have been attempted to get through the channels but keep hitting roadblocks. I have heard it will again be submitted this year.
HOWEVER, there are inspectors that have gone through official training, passed exams on each aspect of a home, and gotten "certified". These candidates go through training in ten days to 4 weeks.
There are a couple of organizations they join and there are meetings and communications to keep inspectors aware of new issues and changes they may experience in the field to keep them updated. The inspectors I use carry appropriate insurance also.
When a buyer needs an inspector, I do have several that are very good, but a buyer can always go onto the site to interview for themselves.
