Home Inspection Licensing Course is made up of 5 individual modules.
Modules 1-4 feature classroom training sessions with our instructor. Module 5 is a 40-hour hands-on training session supervised by a Licensed Home Inspector. All our sessions are taught only by home inspectors, not just an instructor with no home inspection experience. That is why NYREI is the only school in NYC that is able to offer module 5.

Switching Between Online And In-Person Courses
Students may switch between live in-person and zoom streaming classes only. Each class earns credit once, and students won’t receive credit for attending the same class multiple times.

If a student already started the course live in-person and wishes to switch to online self paced any hours completed online will not transfer and must be retaken. For assistance email info@nyrei.com or chat with someone live via the chat widget on the website.
Refunds less a $25 administration fee will only be given if a written request is received within 3 days of registration and will be made to the original form of payment. If requested after the 3 day period, students will receive school credit that never expires; the credit is transferable to someone else if the course has not been started. No refund will be given once you have attended a class. No refund will be given for any books and/or course materials received. Upon written request, a check will be mailed to you within 14 business days.

All students pursuing their license must sit for a proctored school exam after completing their required hours. NYREI is approved to offer the proctored exam online. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours to confirm registration enabling access to the online test. Students must have access to a computer with a camera that can display their face. Students are required to show a government issued ID to take the school exam.
Proctored exams are administered at our Manhattan location on Mondays at 1pm for Salesperson Licensing and Mondays at 3pm for the Broker Licensing. However, you can schedule a private proctored exam at any time convenient to you for an additional $50 proctor fee.
Please note: Students must bring #2 pencils, a calculator, and a valid photo ID. Self-paced online students must bring a printed copy of their Student Affidavit.
If you would like information on taking the proctored exam in an approved location outside of Manhattan, please email info@nyrei.com.
