Is it worth becoming a certified home inspector

[Account Closed]

I am a newbie investor. I have been looking at houses this last week. I will be honest, I walk into a house and don't really know what I am looking for or how to tell if a house is in good or bad shape. I found out that my city offers a 3 day home inspection training course. Its 2 days classroom and 1 day actually out doing inspections. The price is $1300. Would it be worth the money to attend this training to get the knowledge of how to inspect houses? Thank you.
