Individual One-on-One Guidance
A feature that separates this course from any other self-study courses you will find is the Individual One-on-One Guidance. Some candidates will jump right in and study completely on their own but most will need a little help and guidance. The course includes up to approximately 4 hours of individual, one-on-one telephone support and guidance by your personal instructor and guidance counselor. There is no set time limit. Each candidate is different.
Your support doesn't end when you earn your certification. You may find that going out into the field to do your first inspections is when you most want - and need - someone to turn to for help. Send your reports to your instructor before you send them to your clients. Your instructor will review your reports and make suggestions for improvements if any are needed. Take lots of pictures on your inspections. When you see something that you don't understand, you can send your pictures to your instructor for an opinion.
With a BestInspectors.Net self-study home inspection course, you will get all the benefits that you would normally expect from a classroom based course plus much more.

Continuing Education
We started in 1992 as Management Science Institute, a training and small business development and consulting organization. Even though today we are best known for having the World's largest selection of home and commercial inspection report software, training is still one of the things we do best.
In the Fall of 2007 we launched our new online continuing education school. Courses are a combination of self-study, interactive forums, and live online sessions.
Most courses involve one or more online sessions that are scheduled on different days of the week and different times of the day so that we can accommodate everyone's schedules. New courses are in development and will continue to be added throughout 2008. You are guaranteed to have convenient access to at least 24 continuing education hours throughout the course of the year.
Student can take individual courses or they can subscribe to unlimited access to all courses on a monthly basis. Your course provides you with a full year of unlimited access to training. You can take as many courses as you want as often as you want. All courses are approved by InterNACHI for your required annual continuing education. In addition to being approved for NACHI continuing education, many of your credit hours will also be approved for Certified Master Inspector® (CMI) certification and continuing education! You will save hundreds of dollars on continuing education.
