Texas Home Inspector License Course

TREC-approved online training with the fastest practicum path in Texas. From first lesson to licensed inspector — one school, one program.

The A-Train Difference

The Only Texas Program With Training and Practicum Under One Roof

Becoming a licensed Professional Home Inspector in Texas requires TREC-approved education plus supervised field experience — 194 hours of TREC-approved training in all: 154 hours of coursework plus a 40-hour field practicum. Most schools hand you the coursework and leave the field requirement to you. A-Train doesn't.

Our online modules cover the full TREC curriculum at your own pace. Then, through our statewide partner inspection network, we schedule your 40-hour practicum on real homes across Texas — most students complete it in about a week. No cold-calling inspectors begging to ride along. It's built into the program.

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!!!

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.

The online portion went very well as the instructors, Wyatt and Scott, were extremely helpful and resourceful. Even though the 4 of us were all at extremely different levels of experience, Wyatt and Scott were very patient.
