How to Become a Certified Home Inspector in Wisconsin

Home Inspector Licensing

Individuals are required to take the National Home Inspector Examination administered by the Examination Board of Professional Home Inspectors as well as the Wisconsin Home Inspector Statutes and Rules Examination. For more details, visit the Department of Safety and Professional Services. The Standards of Practice are described in Chapter SPS 131.

To help prepare for the state exam, you can take InterNACHI's Online Inspector Exam (free & online, open to everyone), try the Ultimate Home Inspection Exam Prep Guide, and take InterNACHI's online courses (free & online for members). We do not know what's on the exam, but the resources may be helpful to you.

 

Insurance for Inspectors

Although Wisconsin doesn’t have requirements regarding insurance for home inspectors, many local real estate boards and home inspector business franchises require their affiliate members to meet certain coverage standards. InterNACHI members are eligible for discounts and enhanced coverage. Visit nachi.org/insurance for information on how to sign up.  

 

Become a Certified Home Inspector

Just because you're licensed, there's no guarantee that you'll be successful. In addition to attaining a state license, we recommend becoming certified by InterNACHI®. Why? Because InterNACHI-certified inspectors have access to free membership benefits, online training, free state-approved Continuing Education to renew your license, marketing services, business and legal resources, and much more. To become an InterNACHI Certified Home Inspector and attain the Certified Professional Inspector CPI® designation, complete the home inspector certification requirements. The certification is free and online for members and provided by the only home inspector college at www.internachi.edu. 


 

Continuing Education (online & free for members)

Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services requires 40 hours every two years to fulfill the Continuing Education requirements for home inspectors. For details, visit the Wisconsin website. Take InterNACHI's online courses (online & free to members) to fulfill the CE requirements. Not a member? Join now.
