The Pre-purchase Residential Building Inspector Course through Australian Inspector Training was excellent. The training material, assessment methodology and support were great. I would highly recommend any builder or trade looking to extend their building knowledge to undertake the course.

FAQs

What courses am I required to complete?

We recommend that you complete at a minimum the Building Inspectors Course and the Timber Pest Management Course (made up of CPPUPM 3008 Inspect for and report on timber pest, and CPPUPM3010 Control timber pests).

Generally, to obtain professional indemnity insurance to undertake pre-purchase pest inspections, the insurer will require completion of these timber pest units of competency.

Of course, we recommend completing all 3 courses so that you are fully trained across all aspects of the pre-purchase building and pest inspection industry.

How long does each course take to do?

Each course is undertaken online. Our courses are available 24/7 and do not run to a timetable. We do not have classes that you will need to attend or set exam times; it’s simply designed for you to complete at your own pace. Our 3 courses are very much like comprehension; you are given learning material in the form of a pdf and the online module questions are based on the content found in the provided material.

Who do I do my practical pest experience with?

At the end of your pest inspection course you are required to undertake practical experience with a licensed Pest Management Technician. You are required to fill out a workbook and attend jobs with your Pest Management Technician.

You will need to contact your local Pest Management Technician and organising a time you can accompany them to jobs. We highly advise students find a technician prior to signing up to a pest course.
