Our training labs include a live, hands-on property inspection and time working on home inspection reports. While lab training is not generally a requirement for certification, it's another reason why students choose PHII.     In Kentucky or Florida, the state home inspector law requires you to attend a live lab. To fulfill this requirement, you have the option of attending our free lab training in Madison, South Dakota. Or, we also travel to other areas to hold labs for an additional fee. All labs include hands-on property inspections. Labs can be taken after you have finished your online your training. Please call to reserve lab space well in advance.
