Prepare for your first home inspection with instructors who have done the work.
Suzanne and JJ Greive teach SOPHI’s 120-hour Home Inspection Fundamentals course live. Missouri students join their Burien classroom by Zoom, ask questions in real time, and learn from decades of construction, real-estate, inspection, and teaching experience.
SOPHI is built around Suzanne and JJ not a library of prerecorded videos.
Suzanne and JJ wrote SOPHI’s curriculum and have helped hundreds of students prepare for exams, professional inspections, and successful careers. Their experience shapes every explanation, example, and classroom discussion.
Suzanne Greive
Curriculum co-author with home-inspection experience and 10 years in commercial real estate. Suzanne connects technical detail with the communication and judgment clients need.
JJ Greive
Licensed home inspector with 25 years in construction and thousands of completed inspections. JJ teaches how systems are built, how they fail, and how to explain the evidence responsibly.
What experienced, live instruction adds
Suzanne and JJ can slow down, explain a difficult subject another way, and connect it to situations from years of professional work.
Study roofing, structure, electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, interiors, exteriors, insulation, ventilation, appliances, and site conditions as connected systems.
Ask why a condition matters, what else to examine, and where a visual inspection’s limits belong.
Turn observations, implications, limitations, and recommendations into language a client can understand and use.
Build the foundation for the National Home Inspector Examination, then use practice questions to find weak areas.
Education prepares you to begin. Experience keeps teaching you.
Missouri students attend SOPHI’s live classroom through Zoom and prepare to approach a first inspection with a repeatable process, broad system knowledge, safety awareness, and reporting discipline.
Experience continues on the job. Good education helps you recognize more, ask better questions, understand your limits, and learn without starting from zero.
Connect the curriculum to Missouri houses
SOPHI teaches a national, whole-house foundation while helping students understand why regional conditions belong in an inspector’s thinking.
Missouri references: Missouri DNR sinkhole guidance, basement and yard water guidance, and New Madrid seismic information.
Build credentials that help clients see the difference
Missouri inspectors can distinguish themselves by showing exactly how they prepared.

The Student Dashboard keeps the class organized
SOPHI’s private learning system follows the live course and directs students to the right review tools.
Missouri tuition for live instructor-led training
Missouri does not require a state home inspector license, so this tuition is for students choosing professional preparation that can help them begin with stronger knowledge, judgment, and credentials.
The complete 120-hour course, course materials, Student Dashboard, and live student support are included.

Former students have passed examinations, begun inspecting professionally, and built businesses of their own.
“I felt absolutely confident when I took the state exam. I passed! I now have my own business as a home inspector.”
Kathleen W., former SOPHI student
“This school gave me a great foundation for what I needed to know to pass the National Home Inspector Exam.”
John T., former SOPHI student
Missouri home inspector training questions
Is this classroom education or an in-person practicum?
It is live classroom education by Zoom. SOPHI does not provide field training in Missouri. The curriculum prepares students with technical knowledge, inspection process, safety, reporting, and professional judgment before experience continues on the job.
Why does SOPHI recommend the NHIE?
The NHIE is an independent, nationally used examination of inspection knowledge and professional responsibilities. Passing it gives a Missouri inspector a credible benchmark and can support advancement through professional association credential paths.
The people teaching the course make the difference.
Compare schools by who teaches, whether questions are answered live, what experience shapes the curriculum, and whether the instructors will know your name.
