Best-in-Class Texas Home Inspection Training

American Home Inspectors Training (AHIT) offers industry-leading live and interactive online home inspection training in your state, so no matter how you like to learn, we have your solution

ONLINE COURSES

In Texas, you will need to obtain your Professional Real Estate Inspector license from the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) to inspect without supervision. The first step is to complete the required 154 hours of qualifying education. Move through these 6 online courses at your own pace.

You’ll learn about Texas law and Standards of Practice, how to analyze and report your findings, business operations, and the technical components that you need to know for inspecting. Prepare for the national and state portions of your licensing exam with the included textbook and reference materials. To complete your required education, you will also need to attend 40-hours of practicum (guided live practice inspections).

LIVE CLASSES

In addition to your qualifying 154-hour online courses, you need 40 hours of practicum. AHIT’s expert field trainers will guide you through 6 mock inspections in local homes over 4 days, fine-tuning your skills before you’re ready to pass your exam and start inspecting.

If you choose to take the optional 4-day classroom enrichment course, your technical instructor will refine what you’ve learned, focusing on report-writing techniques, Texas Standards of Practice, and preparing you for the licensing exams. Learn more about our instructors here.
