Offered in partnership with Carson Dunlop, this certificate focuses on the practical knowledge needed to assess the performance of a house's systems and components, built around the Standards of Practice of the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors and the American Society of Home Inspectors. Coursework addresses roofing, structure, electrical, heating, air conditioning and heat pumps, plumbing, exterior, insulation and interior systems, alongside the communication skills and professional practice knowledge needed to recognize and report on conditions or potential failures during a visual, pre-sale inspection. This coursework satisfies the OAHI's Baseline Academic Requirements, covering Residential HVAC Inspection, Residential Electrical Inspection, and Introduction to Home Inspection - Practical.
