Education Materials

Many come to the home inspection profession as a second or a third career and may not have taken a professional entrance exam for many years, if ever. This study guide helps to familiarize the candidate with the examination itself, and with the associated administrative procedures. It also includes helpful insights into the types of questions the exam contains, and techniques for success.

The NHIE Home Inspection Manual addresses the technical aspects of the NHIE. This NHIE Study Guide addresses the non-technical aspects.

This NHIE Home Inspection Manual is based on the most recent Role Delineation Study (RDS). This study surveys thousands of home inspectors in order to determine the services they provide, and the components they inspect. The questions in the National Home Inspector Examination are derived directly from this survey and constitute the knowledge base for an entry level home inspector.

This manual is the first of its kind to follow this format. It informs the candidate about the knowledge base behind the current examination questions and provides a technical reference for the experienced home inspector.
