How to Become a Home Inspector in Texas

A home inspection certification gets your foot in the door the same way a high school diploma might qualify for you for an interview. Meet the bare minimum and your success will reflect it.

Be more than the minimum. A dedicated home inspector training program makes you qualified, not just certified. ATI offers online and live courses to prepare you for the field and help you become your own boss.

Understand the work and evaluate your skills

Depending on your level of comfort working with HVAC systems, plumbing or breaker panels, you may have a steeper learning curve. This is ultimately an entry-level career, but if you've got a "handy" streak in you (or a reputation for being able to fix stuff), you've got a natural advantage in becoming a home inspector.
