About the FOUNDING MEMBERS and why they wanted to make a difference!

Nick and Vincent, the founders of NJ Academy of Home Inspectors, are both former Federal Law Enforcement instructors, with Nick also having served as a long-term instructor with the Military. Despite attending local Home Inspection Schools, they found that these schools did not adequately teach the necessary skill set for becoming successful Home Inspectors. Rather, these schools only focused on passing the “test” and did not consider important aspects such as running a home inspections business or protecting oneself. Additionally, the schools used outdated technology and course material, with one school not even requiring students to write training reports.

Leveraging their years of business, home inspection, construction, military, and law enforcement experience, Nick and Vincent developed a program that not only teaches students how to pass the test but also equips them with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect themselves, market their business, obtain additional licenses to increase their earning potential, and ultimately run a successful home inspection business. 

After two years of development, they put together a course curriculum that teaches more than just the “test” and gives each student the tools they need to be successful.
