Communication and Professional Practices

The professional home inspector is required, both verbally and in writing, to describe the inspection process and communicate inspection findings to the client. It is imperative that the home inspector is able to communicate clearly and effectively to ensure understanding of an inspection, once conducted. You will develop your oral and written communication skills, and learn the reporting requirements and proper conduct required of a professional in this industry.
