My ICA instructor was excellent and prepared me for the exam

My experience with ICA was excellent! The instructor, Clint Laney, was very knowledgeable and was an exceptional communicator. He did a great job preparing us for the state examination process which I passed with no problems earning my license shortly after completing the classes. Clint has also continued to make himself available for future communications and questions which has been invaluable as I continue to build on my home inspection career.

I’ve had a bunch of instructors in my time, but none of them compare to Clint’s teaching style. It’s a perfect blend of engaging, humorous, serious, and informative. I really enjoyed the in-person classes and would highly recommend ICA to anyone looking to change careers.

My experience with the ICA Home…

My experience with the ICA Home Inspection class was enjoyable and extremely informative. My knowledge of home inspections and all of the systems involved in a house were very basic until i took this course. My instructor, Clint Laney, did an amazing job teaching the material so people of all skill levels could understand.

Clint made himself avaliable at all times and even stays in contact when the course was completed. You can tell he truly cares about everyone succeeding and becoming the best home inspector they can be. I would recommend this class to anyone.

My learning experience with excellent

My learning experience was excellent. All of my expectations were met and exceeded. I was relieved by Clint’s (course Instructor) smooth delivery and seamless transitions between training modules. The pace of the training and the relevance of the covered materials were seemingly tailored to meet the needs of any individual student and any range of experience levels.

The in person class was awesome

The in person class was awesome. I thought I knew a lot but I learned a lot more in class. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time but it was never boring or overwhelming our instructor Clint Lanning had all the answers or he would find them for us. He was great. The class was great. I would highly recommend the program

I recently completed my home inspection course with Clint Laney, Clint is an outstanding instructor. His clear explanations and hands-on approach make complex topics easy to understand. He’s not only an instructor, he does this for a living so you know he’s the right person to learn from. I highly recommend his course for anyone serious about excelling in home inspection.

Class in Louisville KY

My class was amazing. Clent was an excellent teacher and helped everyone grasp each topic. He made the course feel welcoming as well as being incredibly informative at the same time. He gave us so many resources and offered us a lot of pictures to look at to fully understand each topic at hand. I feel very good about taking the national exam thanks to him.

My instructor Clint was a lot of fun to learn from. He made dull basic slides, interesting to learn with real world stories, pictures and videos that added helpful nuance to the modules. He is a wealth of knowledge and always available if you have a question while you study. Would recommend to a friend.

The class was very informative

The class was very informative, both Bob and Jeff gave different perspectives about home inspection based on their own personal experience. They were very personable and patient with all 8 of us. The onsite class was well planned and they were there early and stayed late to answer any questions. This really was a great experience and I’m excited to finish the module training to get to the next step of starting a business. Thank you.

Jeff Lisse

I greatly appreciate the effort Jeff put into tacitly teaching the class. It was truly inspiring. He thoroughly answered all of our questions in the most simplistic way so that we all understood. He touched on every topic, from making smart business decisions to being careful not to create bad Inspection practices to efficiently managing your time. And we all had fun participating.
Thank You!
