Tennessee Home Inspection License

[Nolan J Scott]

As I expand my investing horizons I have considered obtaining an associate broker and home inspection licenses. 

In regards to a home inspection licenses in the state of TN, a 90 Pre-license Course is required to become state certified. I've looked around at number of different providers who offer said service and quite frankly have found varying costs and reviews, some of which to the point I find shocking. 

For example:

American Academy of Home Inspection
AAOHI
Division of T.R.E.E.S. Inc.

Reviews: positive

At the end of the day, I don't mind paying a little extra for a good provider. On the flip side, I have a notable amount of experience in the field. So, do any of you have experience with these providers? Are there other providers you would recommend? Do you think the school chosen effects which inspector businesses and individuals choose?
