How to become a Certified Master Inspector®

Any non-felon who has completed 1,000 fee-paid inspections and/or hours of inspection-related Continuing Education (combined) in their lifetime, and has been in the inspection business for at least three years, can apply to become a Certified Master Inspector®, provided s/he agrees to abide by the Board's Code of Ethics and substantially follows a Board-approved Standards of Practice.

You need not be a member of any professional association.  The Certified Master Inspector® professional designation is open to all qualifying inspectors, including those in the United States and Canada.  

If your application is approved, the Master Inspector Certification Board, Inc. will issue you a certificate and list you as a Certified Master Inspector®.   You may then advertise yourself as a Certified Master Inspector® and/or Board-Certified™.
