List what skills to look for in a program. You want to select a training program that will leave you with a diverse set of skills for the certification process, and adaptable enough to deal with the often changing rules and technology in the architectural environment. • Check to see if the program covers essential inspection items such as roofing, the foundation, interior work, electrical work, plumbing, heating systems, cooling systems, structural fatigue, and the like. • Also look for programs that can teach you to inspect a wide variety of building types including condominiums, townhouses, apartments, skyscrapers, residential homes, prefabricated buildings, and new construction projects. Choose between community college or vocational schools.

Training in engineering and/or architecture is a great asset in this field. Community colleges tend to offer a wider variety of courses in this area while vocational schools may have more specifically tailored courses.

About 3400 laborers worked in constructing the Empire State Building. Five workers died on the project.

• If you go with the community college choice, consider taking additional courses in algebra, geometry, writing, and anything that might contribute to reading of blueprints and construction skill-building. • If you select a vocational school, in addition to the program coverage from the earlier step and the certification from the following step, try to go with a good record of career placement. Look up mentoring options.

You will be learning from experienced inspectors during your vocational program and/or on the job training. This is an important foundation for employment later as well. • Some mentoring programs are highly structured, and will thoroughly lay out your schedule as you shadow your more experienced partner. • If your mentor is not as 'hands on' as you would like, ask for more attention or another partner. • In either the job or vocational setting, you need to be shadowing inspections, learning codes, techniques, terminology, and developing communication skills with other inspectors, customers, as well as subjects.

Get field experience. This is one of the most important steps to becoming a building inspector. Some education in relate fields such as architecture can be substituted here, but there is no substitute for performing inspections yourself under the supervision of a knowledgeable partner. • You might ask your prospective program how they handle this aspect, if they have a mentoring program as referenced in the earlier step, and how many hours of this they provide towards certification. • Compare how much field experience you can get on the job and in programs to what you need for the license you apply to.
