Customer Testimonials
We don’t just want to see you graduate; AHIT wants to see your continued success as a home inspector for decades to come.
This class was worth every penny! I learned so much from report writing to real life scenarios that you can't always get from books. My instructor also shared his knowledge with the class, to give some real-life context.
- Larry K., Dallas, TX
My instructor’s common-sense approach to Texas home inspection and the industry has given me more confidence. He made the path to licensing clear and easy! Thank you!
- Michael A., Tyler, TX
In the field training, can tell when a student has come to this class. They are better prepared for the Practicum and more likely to succeed in writing the 5 reports as required (by Texas).
- Jim S., Austin, TX
