I received value from the course and found the learning material excellent. The ability to do the course online gave me flexibility and was great, as I could do the work when I found time. I will use AIT again in future.

Inspector Training
Australian Inspector Training (AIT) allows students to undertake their pre-purchase building and pest inspector training with the one training provider. Best of all, it’s online!
AIT offers courses for those wanting to become pre-purchase building and pest inspectors. The courses are designed to assist students who can’t afford to take time off work. Coupled with travel and accommodation costs, in-house courses can be expensive. That’s where AIT can assist.
With AIT, you can complete the course content online in your own time and at your own pace. We do not have classes that you need to attend or set exam times; it’s simply designed for you to complete at your own pace; anytime, anywhere. Our learning platform is available 24/7 and each course has a 6 month expiry.
There is a practical component with each of our pest courses that will require you to undertake some ‘on the job training’ with a licensed industry professional. It is your responsibility to organise this with a local company in your region.
