ST. CLAIRSVILLE — The Workforce Development and Community Education Department at Belmont College will be offering an 80-hour Home Inspection program this January. The program provides the educational requirements set by the state of Ohio for licensure for home inspectors.

In-person classes for the two-week course will be offered 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 24 through Feb. 4, Monday-Friday.

The Home Inspection Certification class is designed to satisfy the educational requirements to be a licensed home inspector in the state of Ohio. The course is based on Ohio Licensure curriculum recommendations and covers the home inspection business, report writing, ethics, and building deterioration processes.

Students will be required to complete home inspections during the course and have their reports critiqued by the instructor. Each student will be supplied with the course textbook and home inspection toolkit along with a 90-day subscription to Palm-Tech Home Inspection Report Writing software.
