Professional Home Inspectors Institute

PHII is an internationally recognized Open Campus for teaching, testing, certification, consultancy, information research, and publishing activities based upon the U.S. Open University model.

PHII promotes international research and collaboration by providing information from its library and databases via the Internet; other audiences are reached through publications.

Our reach spans the globe. Presently, PHII provides training availability to all English speaking Countries and individuals. Shortly, the Institute will expand its training to include all Spanish speaking Countries and individuals. This endeavor is well underway with major training and reporting publications completed.”

The majority of our offerings are accepted by State/Provincial Governments and/or National Associations for their continuing education requirements. Each offering that meets the requirement of a State or association is identified as such and the corresponding credit hours are posted in the listings. Other offerings that relate to business operation, management, marketing, etc. may not be a part of a governmental or trade association’s learning agenda and will not carry continuing education credits. These offerings are invaluable to the success of the individual and are considered indispensable by the Institute and the education community. These courses may be transferable credit for vocational and community colleges offering similar curriculums.

Field Training – A Certified Program Effective training in the field requires more than simple OJT. Our “Certified Program” requires the Student and Home Inspector (a qualified Faculty member) to interact in a specified program of training. The Student is issued a “Field Training Manual” that covers the required learning in all of the training modules. The Faculty member initiates Student Exercises based on the “Field Training Syllabus” during the course of each Home Inspection. A progress report is generated by the Faculty following each Field Training Home Inspection and is posted in the Students “Progress Log” on this web site. Field training is considered complete once a Student has successfully completed all of the mandatory exercises and has demonstrated competence to the Faculty. Training progresses at a pace specified by the Student and the length of training time is Student directed based upon prior experience and personal capability. Upon satisfactory completion of the training program, the Student is presented a “Certificate of Training” which is considered to be the entry point for a career as a Professional Home Inspector.

	Seminars Our seminar series is nearly boundless in topics and locations. Seminars are presented on “Hot Topics” as well as informational or educational topics. Seminars are formed and offered based upon the requests in the community, or the needs of the Home Inspectors in that area. A few seminars are aimed at the non-inspector professional in a related field and the non-inspector that is investigating a career in Home Inspection. The core of our Seminar series is intended to provide Home Inspector Continuing Education. Continuing Education is mandated by many Professional Associations, and State Licensing Laws. PHII provides useful, insightful, and professional educational seminars that meet the needs of both the beginning Home Inspector and the advanced Home Inspector. You can be assured that attending one of our seminars will bring you new and useful information. [ Register as Student ] [ About Seminars ] [ Search Seminar ]
