What must licensed inspectors participate in to stay current with industry standards?

Licensed inspectors are required to engage in continuing education to remain up-to-date with the latest industry standards, practices, and legal requirements. This ongoing educational process is critical for ensuring that inspectors are knowledgeable about changes in laws, new technologies, and updated inspection techniques.

Continuing education typically involves taking approved courses and workshops, attending seminars, and obtaining certifications that enhance their skill set. By fulfilling these educational requirements, licensed inspectors can maintain their licenses and provide safe, knowledgeable, and professional services to clients.

While options such as continuous learning programs and site visits may play a role in a professional's development, continuing education is specifically mandated in many licensing jurisdictions as a formal requirement to help inspectors sustain their competencies in the field.
