In the classroom

Our pre purchase building inspectors academy is an intensive week long, hands-on training course that will equip you with the skills you need to work as a building consultant. Our course has the following modules.

  • Overview of AS4349 standards

  • Defect definition

  • Inspection agreement

  • Site inspection process

  • Effective report writing

  • Insurance education

  • Communication and client relations

  • App training

On site training

This is probably the most important part of our training. You’ll conduct 10 real inspections alongside our expert inspectors. This process will teach you everything you need to know about pre purchase inspections in the real world.

Furthermore, these 10 inspections will count as the requirement to gain insurance.

Course Schedule

Days 1 to 5 are held in a classroom in Melbourne.

Live inspections

As part of the course, our students will do 10 inspections with our expert inspectors. These inspections will be scheduled in the days following the classroom sessions. We will make every effort to conduct these inspections in a timely manner, but the schedule may vary based on property availability.
