DBPR approval process for Florida home inspector course

TRANSPARENCY UPDATE

Our DBPR Approval Status

We believe in being upfront. Here’s exactly where our DBPR course approval stands — and what happens next.

CURRENT STATUS

⌛ Curriculum In Development

We are actively developing our 120-hour pre-license curriculum. Once development is complete, we will submit our course approval application to the Florida DBPR for review. Florida law requires that all home inspector pre-license courses be DBPR-approved before students can use them toward a license application.

This page will be updated when approval is granted. Interest list members will be notified by email first.

Why DBPR Approval Matters

Florida law is specific: only a DBPR-approved 120-hour pre-license course satisfies the education requirement for a home inspector license. This is why we won’t open enrollment until approval is confirmed.

FOR STUDENTS

Your Course Hours Count

If you take a course from an unapproved provider, the DBPR will not accept those hours toward your license application. You would have to repeat the course. We won’t let that happen to our students.

FOR LICENSING

DBPR Accepts the Certificate

Once approved, our course completion certificate is submitted directly as part of your DBPR license application. The DBPR will verify approval status on their end before issuing your license.

OUR COMMITMENT

No Enrollment Until Approved

We will not accept a single dollar of tuition until DBPR approval is in hand. The interest list is free and commits you to nothing — it simply gets you first access when enrollment opens.

Be First to Know When We’re Approved

Join the interest list and we’ll email you the moment DBPR approval is confirmed and enrollment opens — before we announce publicly.

  • Free to join — no payment, no commitment
  • One email when approval is confirmed
  • Early enrollment access before public announcement

Common Questions

Can I start the course before DBPR approval?

No — and we won’t let you. We will not open enrollment until DBPR approval is confirmed. Taking a course from an unapproved provider means the DBPR will not accept those hours toward your license. We built our process to protect you from that risk.

How long does DBPR approval usually take?

DBPR processing times vary and are outside our control. We are monitoring the application actively and will update this page and notify the interest list immediately when approval is granted.

What if I need to get licensed right now?

If you need to complete your 120-hour course immediately, you should use a currently DBPR-approved provider. The DBPR maintains a list of approved providers on their website. Join our interest list anyway — our course may be the right fit for your continuing education or future needs.

Does joining the interest list cost anything or commit me to anything?

No. The interest list is completely free. We will send you one email when approval is confirmed and enrollment opens. No spam, no sales pressure. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Can I verify your DBPR application status myself?

Yes. The DBPR maintains public records of approved education providers. Once our approval is granted, you will be able to find Florida Home Inspector Course on the DBPR’s approved provider list at myfloridalicense.com. We encourage you to verify independently — that’s exactly the kind of due diligence a good inspector does.
