The National Institute of Building Inspectors® (NIBI®) has provided educational and training programs for the home inspection industry and related professions since 1987. NIBI evolved from training programs developed for the HouseMaster® franchise system, and is recognized as one of the oldest and most experienced home inspection training institutes. While continuing its affiliation with HouseMaster, NIBI offers training for the entire home inspection profession and has developed an enviable reputation for raising inspection standards and increasing awareness of the need for formal home inspection training.

NIBI offers conventional Classroom Courses at its dedicated Training Center and distance learning programs through its Online Campus. Both educational programs have been approved by major home inspection associations and many states as meeting the requirements for membership, licensing, and/or continuing education.

NIBI also offers a Certified Inspectors Program.  NIBI Certified Inspectors are required to not only complete educational courses and field training work, but must also participate in a yearly re-certification testing. Being NIBI Certified is indeed the mark of home inspection professionalism! When homebuyers are ready to make that homebuying decision, they should insist on a Certified NIBI Inspector for their home inspection, and buy with confidence.
