LIVE COURSES
In the state of Kentucky, you will need to obtain a home inspection license from the Kentucky Board of Home Inspectors. The first step in getting your license is to complete 64 hours of live classroom training. AHIT offers the quickest and easiest way to obtain required hours. We offer a 7-day classroom course where you will learn from industry experts who have been inspecting for years, and pride themselves on teaching the next generation of home inspectors. They will take you through the entire inspection process, step by step. You will also complete your required lab/field hours in local homes with three practice inspections by instructors, to give you a feel for the real-world experience.
In addition to your 64 hours of classroom training you will need to complete three supervised inspections, led and reviewed by a licensed inspector. AHIT is one of the only education providers in KY to offer coursework to complete this requirement. We offer this extra day and a half immediately following the 7-day classroom course. Our field trainer will help you through each inspection, review your report, and provide you with feedback and advice on how to improve your report-writing technique.
