I am currently an admin coordinator for a nonprofit in Columbus, GA, and I want to change to a job in home inspections, possibly scale up to commercial building inspection as an independent contractor.

I've been in the customer service industry for most of my professional life, and I miss my blue collar roots.

Any suggestions where to start for becoming a home inspector?

Schools, reputable cert programs, people in the industry, etc.?

Thank you for any insight!
