Home Inspector License Exam Prep

Performance Programs Company's Home Inspector License Exam Prep (HILEP) is a 240-page, state-of-the-art learning learning tool designed to prepare home inspector candidates for the National Home Inspector Examination® (NHIE®). HILEP is comprehensive in that it contains both key content review and testing practice. The text review specifically follows the National Home Inspector Examination® outline as promulgated by Examination Board of Professional Home Inspectors (EBPHI) testing officials.  

The study guide is divided into three main sections:

1. Property and Building Inspection
2. Analysis of Findings and Reporting
3. Professional Responsibilities

Following each major section is a section-end quiz to test your mastery of the subject material. This is further reinforced by explanations in the Answer Key to each section quiz. Exam candidates should also note that all content to our exam prep is tersely presented in bullet point lists. We make every effort to present only the essential material that you need to learn the test outline subjects.

Home Inspector License Exam Prep challenges candidates to take and pass one 100-item practice test covering the entire NHIE test outline. Again, the practice test comes with an answer key and answer explanations. Between the practice quizzes and practice exams, there are 230 total questions with rationales in HILEP.

Primary author ​​​​​​​Bruce Barker, is a leading authority in the home inspection field and is the author of numerous acclaimed books, including The NHIE Home Inspection Manual, Everybody's Building Code, Commentary on the ASHI Standard of Practice for Home Inspections, A Practical Guide to Evaluating Decks, and books in the Black & Decker series.
