TOPIC: Becoming a Home Inspector in the State of Nevada

Are there any state requirements?
Or is it like Calif?

I have a friend in Nevada that wants to
become a Home Inspector.

This is pretty complicated ....since Im Home Inspector in Calif.
Thanks for the info.

Complicated?  ???

40 hrs training
Exam
25 inspections under the watchful eye of an experienced inspector
High School Diploma or GED
Pay the fee

I agree it is more complicated than no licensing at all.  Nevadas requirements are easier than North Carolina.

North Carolina requires:
160 hrs training
40 hrs of apprentice inspecting
Exam
High School or GED
E&O OR General Liability and 17K assets
Pay the fee

Nevada requries 20 hrs Con Ed over 2 years.  NC requires 16 hrs every yr of which 4 must be the mandatory state class.  Can't repeat the same subject in 3 years.
