In its ten-year history, ICA has graduated more than 20,000 home inspectors. ICA works closely with organizations such as the American Society of Home Inspectors to ensure that training aligns with industry standards. Students can continue their education through Edcetera Home Inspection, which offers programming designed to help current and aspiring home inspectors maintain their professional licensure and grow their skills over time.
