Free Webinars Reveal How to Become a Home Inspector

BROOKFIELD, Wis., May 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --  Details about what it takes to become a home inspector and how to get home inspection training are revealed during the free webinars hosted by American Home Inspectors Training by OnCourse Learning.  

The "How to Become a Home Inspector" webinars take place twice a month at 7 p.m. CT beginning May 9 and running through the end of 2018. Topics include home inspection as a career, liability issues, licensing requirements, the best backgrounds for people who want to become a home inspector and home inspection training availability.

Leading the presentations is AHIT Senior Technical Training Instructor Chris Chirafisi, a veteran home inspector who has conducted more than 3,000 inspections during his career.

"Many people find working as a home inspector provides numerous career benefits," Chirafisi said. "Home inspectors can work either full-time or part-time and have control of the hours they want to work. Others find meeting new people and not being stuck at a desk are appealing aspects of the profession."
