“As a licensed home inspector in Louisiana, I went into this class with low expectations, and honestly, this school blew all of my expectations out of the water. Every inspector I was paired with was so knowledgeable and professional. 10/10 recommend!!!”

State-Approved Training Across Three States
Every state licenses home inspectors differently. Pick yours to see exactly what it takes — requirements, timeline, and tuition.
Built by Working Inspectors, Not a Curriculum Company
Our instructors inspect real homes every week — and it shows in how they teach, what they teach, and how their students perform.
Taught by Working Inspectors
Our courses are led by Donnie Autry, our Lead Instructor and an active inspector who teaches from real inspections — not just slides. You learn what the exam covers and what the job actually looks like.
Field Experience Built In (Texas)
Online-only schools leave you to figure out field training on your own. In Texas, our partnership with a statewide inspection network means your required practicum inspections are scheduled for you — real homes, real reports, real supervision.

The things people ask us most before enrolling — answered straight. A-Train's courses are online and self-paced, built to take you from zero experience to a licensed home inspector in Texas, Maryland, or Tennessee. Below you'll find real answers on timelines, cost, financing, and what it actually takes to pass your state's requirements — no fluff, no sales spin. If your question isn't covered here, call us and a real instructor will walk you through it.
Although not a requirement, A-Train Academy strongly encourages students to dedicate the appropriate amount of time and attention to their coursework daily to ensure graduation within the first four months of starting the program.
Records have shown that pass rates for students who take longer than four months begin to rapidly decrease. As a best practice, students should wisely manage their time and plan to graduate by the fourth month of the training.
