Program Application/Forms: Students may enroll in this part-time program’s classes without taking a placement exam, but prior to enrolling, students must complete a College Admission form. Keyboard, typing and computer skills are necessary to complete program requirements. Physical Requirements: Anyone interested in becoming a home inspector should be aware that it is a very “physical” job that requires some amount of dexterity and strength, as well as a willingness/ability to get in tight spaces such as crawl spaces and attics, within industry standards. Traversing roofs is expected of home inspectors when it is safe to do so and this sometimes requires moving cumbersome ladders around the home. Home inspectors must be able and willing to work in all kinds of weather conditions and be prepared to do so.
