Courses
Note the tuition and fees are competitive with BCIT and other providers for introductory home inspection
courses, but the Fundamentals of Home Inspection includes material beyond a simple introduction.
There are some lower cost programs being offered in the marketplace. Be careful to review exactly what you get, and
perhaps more importantly what you don't get, from lower cost programs.

The "Education" requirements contained in the Home Inspection Licensing Regulation (HILR) resulted in the
development of the Fundamentals of Home Inspection Program (Program Outline).
New inspector applicants will complete the Fundamentals of Home Inspection Program (HPIN 104, 105,
107, 108, and 109), with at least a 70% final grade in each, to receive a Program Certificate and Transcript
to submit to CPBC as one of the basic licensing requirements.
Those wishing to advance to ASTTBC Certification must complete some additional requirements. For more
information on this, contact us.
