Professional Home Inspector Training by Gary Rose - CMI CGLI
Are you currently looking for a career change, or thinking of becoming a Home Inspector in Canada? If so, and you’re unsure of which way to turn then consider the following, it is by far the cheapest & easiest way to become a Home Inspector in Canada.
Once you become a member of InterNACHI, all study material & education is provided in order for you to become a fully licensed professional Home Inspector. It is provided online by InterNACHI – its FREE, and second to none!
For those that have a construction background, the feedback from various people that have taken exams, & have completed a test inspection & peer review, have found InterNACHI’s study material to be very professional, educational, concise and well structured.
For those that have no construction background, the feedback is mixed and studying takes a little longer. That said, everything you need to become a Home Inspector is well documented within InterNACHI’s course material – and it’s FREE to members!
Depending on your background, input and how well you retain information, you can study at your leisure – no classroom or peer pressure, or with experience you can fast track yourself & people have been known to complete the entire course within 6 to 8 weeks – easily – with ‘no’ prior knowledge!
Having completed the course, but having never completed a Home Inspection before, you now need to arrange final exams, test inspection & peer review, & this is what most students find daunting & unnerving.
Even with a construction background lots of students become nervous when the time comes to remove the cover from your first electrical panel & examine the components & test properly – there’s much more to a proper electrical inspection than just standing there and shining your torch on the breakers!
The same can be said with the heating system, structure, roof, siding & sump pumps etc..

After already earning a certificate of training through Carson Dunlop, I decided to hire Gary for his one on one training and mentoring before doing my practical license test inspection. 3 days with Gary were every bit as, if not more, valuable in backing up months of book work. Gary has a huge amount of knowledge and a very wide breadth of experience. The training was worth every penny and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for training for anyone, and he'd definitely be the guy I would want to hire to inspect a home I was buying. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiencePosted on Jeremy HumeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary inspected a house for us recently and cannot recommend him enough. He was very thorough and flagged all issues no matter how small they may seem. He produced the report for us the next day and went the extra mile with following up and supporting us in any way he could. In the end he saved us money and flagged an issue that otherwise may have gone unnoticed. If we ever need a home inspection in the future we will definitely be using Gary again!Posted on Jeff NeilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
