Colorado Home Inspector License Requirements

Colorado is one of a few states that have yet to regulate the home inspection business in any way. There are no formal standards or requirements for home inspector certification in Colorado – but that doesn’t mean certification is unnecessary. Regardless of state regulations, home buyers are eager to ensure the quality of their investment by working with experienced, educated professionals with real training. The question for many aspiring inspectors is where to earn those credentials.

The answer is ICA’s Home Inspection School. In our convenient, industry-recognized online course, you’ll learn the skills, techniques, and industry best practices necessary to find success as a home inspector in Colorado. Upon completion of the course, you’ll have everything you need to start your own Colorado home inspection business or join an existing company.

Why Colorado Home Inspections Matter

Buying a home is a big deal. In many cases, it represents the most significant investment a person will make in their lifetime. With such a daunting financial decision on the line, home inspectors prove especially valuable. Their insight into the condition of a property can make all the difference. While inspectors don’t dictate whether or not a sale should go through, their findings can reveal critical information about potential repairs and replacement jobs on the horizon. You wouldn’t want to buy a house without consulting someone with a Colorado home inspection license first!

How to Earn a Colorado Home Inspector License

Colorado home inspectors enjoy a very low barrier of entry to the career. With no state regulations in place or tests to pass, training is as simple as completing ICA School’s online modules. This self-paced course is as comprehensive as it is convenient – most people complete the material within a few weeks.
