Belmont College Offers 120-Hour Home Inspection Training for Fall 2026

St. Clairsville, OH (November 21, 2025) –  Belmont College is pleased to announce they will be offering a Home Inspection Training Program through the Workforce and Community Education Department.  This course is designed to provide students with the real-world knowledge and hands-on experience needed to succeed in the growing field of home inspection.

Classes will run October 6 through December 16, 2026, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at the College’s Main Campus in St. Clairsville, Ohio.

This in-depth 120-hour program includes 80 hours of classroom instruction and 40 hours of hands-on home inspections. The December 16 session marks the completion of the classroom portion; the remaining 40 hours of fieldwork will be scheduled directly with the course instructor for Spring 2027.

Through a combination of expert-led instruction and practical experience, students will learn to inspect residential structures, develop the ability to assess structural soundness, and ensure compliance with essential codes, regulations, and specifications.

The Home Inspection program has been approved for inclusion on the Workforce Inventory of Education and Training (WIET) list. This designation allows eligible students to apply for Ohio Means Jobs funding. Interested individuals are strongly encouraged to contact their local Ohio Means Jobs office as early as possible to explore available funding options.
