Survey Says

A closer look at the results of ASHIʼs education survey

January 2, 2023

ASHI recently completed a survey to learn more about our membership—from how you learn to what you want to learn. More than 50% of respondents let us know that theyʼve been inspecting homes for more than a decade.

We learned that nearly 70% of respondents get home inspection training from ASHI—including on ASHI Edge, at events, and from the ASHI School. Most prefer self-paced online courses (45%), followed closely by in-person workshops (34%).

We also asked: What do you most want to learn about? The results were fascinating and closely tied—with electrical being the number one answer, followed by roofing, structural, plumbing, and heating.

Of surveys sent, this one had the most engagement. See the charts featured here for a more detailed look.
