Every Hour, Entirely Online
A-Train's Georgia course is 90 hours of distance education delivered entirely online — no travel, no scheduled classes, and nothing you have to show up in person for. The self-paced modules take you from zero building knowledge to ready to inspect independently, and they prepare you for the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE), the nationally recognized benchmark inspectors use to prove competence.
Here's what makes Georgia different from most states we teach in: Georgia does not license home inspectors. There is no state license, no state-mandated course, and no state exam. You could legally inspect a home in Georgia tomorrow having never opened a textbook — and that is precisely the reason to open one.
Tuition
Standard Package
$499
Includes National Exam Prep — unlimited practice simulations for the National Home Inspector Examination.
Prefer the training on its own? The Value Package is $299 — the same core 90-hour course, without the exam prep.
Veterans and active-duty personnel receive 15% off any package.
Affirm financing and in-house installment plans available.
Want Hands-On Time? Add Ride-Alongs.
Ride-alongs are an optional add-on to either Georgia package. You spend the day on real inspections beside a working inspector, which is the fastest way to turn coursework into judgment — watching how someone experienced reads a roofline, a panel, or a foundation crack teaches things a module can't.
Starting at $200
Per ride-along attended. Availability and scheduling vary — call the office and we'll walk you through the details.

Why Train If Georgia Doesn't Require It?
Because in an unregulated market, nothing is handed to you. In Texas or Tennessee, a license tells a buyer the state vetted you. In Georgia, there is no such signal — every inspector in the state stands on the same empty ground, and the only thing separating a professional from anyone with a flashlight and a business card is what they can actually demonstrate.
Training is how you demonstrate it. Passing the National Home Inspector Examination gives you a credential a client can look up and a real estate agent can vouch for. Ninety hours of structured coursework gives you the competence behind it — the difference between noticing a stain on a ceiling and knowing what caused it, what it will cost, and how to write it up so a buyer can act on it.
And Georgia's lack of licensing does not mean a lack of obligations. The state's Trade Practice Act of 1994 (Title 8, Chapter 3) requires every home inspector working in Georgia to give the client a document setting out the scope of the inspection, to confirm the inspection is a visual one, and to report defects along with recommendations for expert specialists. Those duties apply to you from your very first inspection, trained or not. We would rather you meet them trained.

Career changers from every background finish with A-Train — and say so. A few words from recent students.
“Customer service while completing the online courses was unparalleled. Their attention to detail in creating the courses is exactly what you need to be successful in passing your state and national exams.”
— Jay U.
“I have taken trade specific training courses frequently over the years but can honestly say I have never learned so much practical information in such a short time. My instructors were Wyatt and Scott, both took the time to tailor my instruction to the questions I ask.”
— Shane S., Master Electrician
“Excellent instructors helping all the way through. They will take the time to go over any course lessons that you might feel you need improvement on. I would recommend this school to any up and coming home inspectors looking for a personalized learning experience.”

What's Included
- 90-hour course, 100% online — the complete curriculum as distance education — self-paced, no travel, no scheduled classes, from anywhere in Georgia.
- National Exam Prep (Standard Package) — unlimited practice simulations of the National Home Inspector Examination, so you sit the real NHIE having already rehearsed it.
- Training built to work unsupervised — the course is built to equip you to inspect independently, without a supervising inspector looking over your shoulder — which matters more in a state that sets no bar of its own.
- Optional ride-alongs — real inspections alongside a working inspector, available as an add-on to either package from $200. Call the office for details.
- Instructors who answer the phone — working inspectors you can actually reach when a module doesn't click — the same support behind every A-Train course.
Our ISN Partnership
What Comes With Your Training
Passing your exam is one thing. Actually starting work is another — and that's where most new inspectors stall out. Through our partnership with Inspection Support Network, every A-Train student gets the software, the coaching, and the practical extras that turn a finished course into a working business.
Free ISN Software During Training
ISN is the software working inspectors run their business on — writing and delivering reports, scheduling jobs, handling client communication, and managing the day-to-day admin. Your access is free while you're training, so you learn the tools on the same platform you'll use on the job. When training ends, you keep going at discounted partner-student pricing.
90 Days of E&O Insurance, Paid by ISN
ISN covers your first 90 days of Errors & Omissions insurance so there's one less bill between finishing your course and taking your first paid inspection.
This is a starter benefit from ISN. It is separate from — and does not satisfy — any insurance your state requires for licensure. Check your state's requirement and carry your own policy.
A Guided Mastermind for New Inspectors
Structured coaching for the part school doesn't usually cover: launching and growing an inspection business. You work through pricing, marketing, client relationships, and operations alongside other new inspectors, with guidance from people who have already built one.
Marketing and Visibility
You get a customizable brochure webpage to send to agents and homeowners, plus a listing in a state-searchable inspector directory so people looking for an inspector in your area can find you.
10 Full-Package 90-Day Warranties
Ten full-package 90-day warranties to offer your first clients — a $200 value, provided at no cost through ISN, with no expiration date on when you use them.
Podcast, Live Support, and Software Training
Access to an industry home inspection podcast, live support when something isn't working, and software training sessions so you're not teaching yourself the platform from a help article.
ISN benefits are provided by Inspection Support Network through our partner program and are subject to their terms. Call us and we'll walk you through exactly what you get and when it starts.
