Maryland's Most Affordable Path to a Home Inspector License
We're new to Maryland, and we're pricing like it — on purpose. As introductory pricing while we build our name in the state, A-Train tuition runs about half of what other approved Maryland schools charge for the same license outcome.
Maryland requires 72 hours of approved education — including in-person training — plus passing the NHIE and carrying $150,000 in general liability insurance. You'll complete your classroom work online at your own pace, then finish your hands-on training at our Maryland facility at 23600 Three Notch Rd, Hollywood, MD 20636, with Dan DeBoodt, an Air Force veteran and working inspector who leads all our in-person Maryland sessions.

Small Classes, Real Instruction
Because we're growing in Maryland, you won't be one of forty people in a hotel conference room. In-person sessions are small, hands-on, and taught by an inspector who does this work — which means your questions get answered on a real house, not a whiteboard.
Dan's an Air Force veteran himself — and veterans and active-duty students receive 15% off any A-Train package.
Rated 5.0 on Google
Students come to A-Train from every background and leave licensed — and telling others about it. Here's what a few of them said.
“I can't give this place enough credit for helping me get my license. If you have the pleasure of getting to deal with Blake directly consider yourself lucky. He was my main contact through everything and he just made it work. Need a test on a Sunday, done. 9pm and the app isn't working, fixed.”
— Robert M.
“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.
“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.”
— Daniel T.

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.
