Inspection Certification Associates (ICA) Reviews 

I am very glad that I decided to complete my training through ICA school. The course material was presented in a very effective way and the in-person class far exceeded my expectations. I had the pleasure of being Jeff L.'s student for the in-person class, and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Jeff did a phenomenal job ensuring that we are well prepared to apply our education from the course into real-world situations. It is very clear that Jeff is an knowledgeable teacher and is very passionate about his student's success. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that is interested in becoming a home inspector.

I thoroughly enjoyed the class and the way that it was presented. Steve did an amazing job explaining the topics ,going over scenarios and answering our questions. I will totally recommend ICA brand to anyone. Thank you

Floyd and Sandra Gibbs with ICA were the perfect teachers for me. Floyd taught to my strengths and my weaknesses. I had all the information I needed to pass my exam and I feel prepared to step into my new career. This can be a lonely career, but with Floyd and Sandra, I know I have a family!

I had an incredible experience with the ICA course led by a Floyd and Sandra Gibbs!
Floyd deserves a million stars. Floyd's expertise and passion for teaching the course and knowledge of content truly shone through, making every class engaging and informative. Not just reading off of slides. The course content was comprehensive, well-organized, and practical, preparing me with confidence for my career in home inspections.

Thank you for everything and letting me be apart of your family!

I recently completed the ICA 4 day Home Inspector class in Virginia. As someone with zero background in construction or the trades, I found the class was a perfect fit and pace for my knowledge level. An enormous amount of credit goes to the instructor, Steve Sheldon, who explained each concept thoroughly and went far above and beyond just reciting the course material. He was patient with questions and was focused on conveying the material in a way that was tailored to giving the students a leg up on the NHIE. In addition to the technical aspects of home inspection, Steve also provided invaluable insights into the business end of running a successful home inspection business. I would highly recommend ICA’s course to anyone of any experience level, and hopefully your instructor can give you as good of a start in this business as Steve Sheldon did for me.

Steve Sheldon was a fantastic instructor - very detail-oriented and kept the class fun. I would recommend ICA to anyone looking to become a home inspector.

So far it seems ok but it doesn't seem much to the point it seems a little slow for me just my personal opinion

Great instructor that wants all his students to succeed. He can explain it a million different ways until you understand the content. Very patient instructor and there is never a dull moment.
Highly recommend to learn from.

Great instructor. This is my third or fourth class that I take with Mr Eric. I enjoyed all of them he takes the time to explain so we can understand and learn.

So far I have been getting good Knowledge in nice way of explanation.

The classes were very detailed orientated very easy to follow and listen. Plus the videos to all the modules help explain a lot what to see and expect when you are ready to be out in the home inspection industry. Even better is the guidelines of giving you all the free downloads to help you further your career. I’m glad I took this course and looking forward to my future career as the best home inspector thank you ICA.

I purchased this course from ICA early this year and TREC denied my certificate and said this course was not approved for the required hours. Jason from ICA told me that they weren't technically approved but they would be 'soon'. So, they SOLD me a course they knew would not be accepted! Just waiting for their approval? Completely unethical. Would never recommend. Go to AHIT instead. They confirmed for me as well that ICA was not approved.

They can improve by not being liars on the phone to get your credit card and then not provide the training promised. Refused to give me a refund and hung up on me.

David Miller has been a great instructor. He goes above and beyond to explain how things work he’s making the experience fun and knowledgeable. I recommend David for anyone who wants to learn all facets of a house his teachings will make it easier on doing a home inspection.

I believe the information that Mr. Shelton gave me was informative, and even though it was a short four day class, he gave me the necessary information and guidance to achieve the goal of passing the required certification, testing to become a licensed home inspector. Mr. Sheltons knowledge and laid-back demeanor was truly appreciated.

Steve was so helpful getting me setup and the process was easy, I was able to start immediately. The process of logging on and starting the course was easy to follow. The instructor explained everything in detail in order to understand what he was trying to explain about each module. My overall experience was great!

This is a mid-life career change for me, so I was pretty anxious about switching lanes so quickly, but I buried my nose in the modules and found it was very useful and informative and structured for success. Upon completion of the online courses, attended the 4-day live instruction seminar with Steve Sheldon, who was a most valuable teacher and really engaging with the class. I left with a strong sense of great things to come, and I am grateful to call Steve friend and colleague. He is an excellent instructor. If you are sitting on the fence looking for new horizons, I recommend further education with an ICA qualified instructor in the immediate future.

I am not usually one to do online reviews or comments but this class was truly worth my time to do so! I took the history of homes class with Floyd and Sandra Gibbs and have nothing but positive memories. They presented useful information about common building materials from different eras and had many of the actual items that you can see, touch and smell. No boring lectures or .ppt overload, just great information, discussion and dialog presented in a fun and informative manner.

I really enjoyed this past weekend with Floyd and Sandra. Floyd and Sandra created such a positive, , loving, learning, fun environment. I was really blown out by their personalities. You can feel, tell and prove that they care that you understand what they are teaching. And I did get all they were teaching during this 12 hours course. The 8-hour US House bulding history has blown my mind too. So informative but Floyd and Sandra were able to teach it as a story. That's a a great teaching skill.

The course was well put together and artistic way in which it was imparted made almost impossible not to get a clear understanding. I would recommend ICA any day
