The supervising professional is fully responsible for each inspection and all resulting reports based on each inspection.
Alternatively, students have the option of completing the 40-hour unpaid field-based training requirement independently of the school, under the direct supervision of a sponsoring licensed home inspector, professional engineer or architect. A detailed log* of completed home inspections must be maintained by both the home inspector candidate and the supervising professional and are subject to review by the NYS Department of State.
