This certificate was developed by Northeastern University for real estate professionals including renovators, developers, contractors, real estate brokers, and appraisers. This is a specialized study of the theory and practice of home and commercial inspection. The courses are designed for students who are or will be working for banks, private businesses, state and local governments, and as small business owners.
Many participants complete their certificate in about one year.
Upon successful completion, Northeastern University will award a Certificate of Professional Achievement in Real Estate Inspections. A background in construction, mechanical trades, architecture, or engineering is strongly suggested. This certificate will no longer be offered after the Spring 2001 quarter. You may apply no more than two courses to another certificate. These courses meet for five consecutive weeks and are 10 hours in duration.
