| Description | Home inspectors provide an objective, independent and comprehensive analysis of a home's major systems and components. Students in this College Certificate program learn the technical skills to assess and report on the condition of a home and its systems, as well as the business communication skills to build a successful practice in the home inspection field. Topics include roofing, insulation, structural, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and interior/exterior structures and systems in residential dwellings.
The program delivers the authorized curriculum as developed by Carson Dunlop and Associates. The courses fulfill the core academic requirements for Candidate Membership in the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (OAHI), which is one step towards the "Registered Home Inspector" (RHI) designation that is granted by OAHI. The RHI designation incorporates the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors and the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (ASHI/CAHPI).
This program is offered part-time. | | |
