Hands-on Home Inspection Training vs. Stimulated Training
Is there really a question?

• You can base your decision on cost. Maybe you could go with the cheapest course out there; however, when has cheaper ever been associated with better quality?
• How about the fastest or the shortest course? Well, that’s an option, but do you really want to miss out on something important because you want to get the class over with quickly?
• What if you learn online from home, even while still wearing your pajamas? That might be appealing, but wouldn’t you rather learn in a classroom with actual instructors and classmates and then go to actual houses so you can use your training in real homes?
Here’s a related question: If you could learn from those who created the standards that are the basis of the entire profession of home inspection, would you jump at that chance? Of course! You want to learn from the best of the best, not the worst of the worst.
These are all reasons why you should attend The ASHI School (TAS). And if you’ve already attended yourself, then you should be telling others about it.
Here are some highlights of The ASHI School’s education:
• More live field training than any other home inspection school offers
• Field training that happens in real homes, not in simulations or cutaways
• Education that’s approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
• Coast-to-coast training locations
• National Home Inspection Exam (NHIE) handbooks to help prepare you for the examination
• Free one-year membership with the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). (Remember that statement about the people who created the standards that home inspection professionals follow? Those people are ASHI members!)
Did you know that TAS educators are not your average, run-of-the-mill instructors? They are currently practicing home inspectors, all ASHI-Certified (ACI), with a wealth of knowledge that they are happy to impart during and after class. The ASHI School instructors will not only teach you the basics of home inspection, but they will also share tips and tricks, lessons learned on the job and more. (If you are interested in becoming an instructor at TAS, please contact Bonnie Bruno at 847-954-3178 or bonnie@theashischool.com.)
We give you money! Well, that’s a little misleading. But if you are already an ASHI member or if you have already been a student of TAS, you can qualify to receive a $50 Visa gift card just by referring another student to The ASHI School.
