My experience with Floyd Gibbs through the ICA Home Inspector training has been excellent. He’s not only a knowledgeable and skilled teacher, but also someone who truly cares about his students’ success. Throughout the course, I learned a great deal about home inspection, but I also discovered more about myself and my own abilities. Floyd’s teaching style makes complex information easy to understand, and he brings real-world experience that prepares you for the field. I would highly recommend ICA Inspection courses to anyone who’s serious about becoming a professional home inspector. His passion, patience, and expertise make all the difference.

How I ended up in this program is not as important as where I am going to be after this program. And I am not sure that I can adequately convey just how good the field training portion of this program was for me personally. It wasn't about the course material. The modules were informative and, obviously, any time you can get hands-on experience learning in the field is going to be advantageous. But what truly made this program special for me was the instructor, Mr. Floyd Gibbs. If someone was ever destined to end up in a position where they could teach individuals....not instruct.....but to actually teach them, it was Floyd Gibbs. I joked at the end of the first day that Floyd was like a motivational speaker, teacher, and mentor all rolled into one. But it's actually true. When Floyd spoke, I listened and I was genuinely engaged. When he would teach us something new, he actually taught the 'why' behind what it was that he was teaching. I cannot express how important that part is when attempting to learn a new skill. And when Floyd aimed to motivate us, I truly felt motivated. So now, for the first time in a long time, I feel really excited about what my future entails. Anyone looking to take the field training portion of the home inspection training program needs to sign up for the class being taught by Floyd Gibbs. A++++

Robbie was a fantastic instructor with lots of knowledge and would answer everyone's questions. The flow was nice with manuals, videos, and questions. However, I would like to see a few opportunities for the class to engage with pictures of what is correct or wrong or what to look for in those scenarios. Also, a little time on how HIP works would be amazing because trying to learn it on the fly out in the field can be frustrating and actually turn people off from wanting to use it without proper navigation first. Otherwise the class was great and I would recommend Robbie and ICA to others, thank you. -Danny

Pete with ICA was fantastic. He's a great instructor and thoroughly taught the material. I feel better prepped for the NHIE and have a better fundamental understanding of report writing and what we do as inspectors.

Last week I completed an outstanding ICA Home Inspector Training Course led by Pete, and it was easily one of the best professional learning experiences I’ve ever had. The ICA program was incredibly thorough—covering structure, roofing, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing—but what truly made it exceptional was Pete’s leadership, teaching style, and genuine care for every student. From day one, Pete set the tone by treating everyone like family. He took time to learn our backgrounds, goals, and challenges, and he built a classroom culture rooted in respect, humor, and support. Pete’s ability to take complex concepts and make them easy to understand—while tying every lesson back to real-world application—was remarkable. He didn’t just teach inspection techniques; he modeled professionalism, ethics, and the heart of what it means to serve clients well. The hands-on field training, mock inspections, and business development sessions through ICA were top-notch, but it was Pete’s passion and mentorship that made the biggest impact. His stories from the field, practical advice, and one-on-one guidance showed that he truly wants every student to succeed—not just pass a test, but thrive as a professional. If you’re looking for a training experience that blends deep knowledge, real-world insight, and a genuine sense of community, ICA’s program with Pete is the gold standard

I am so glad that I chose ICA for the WV inspector training course. Pete Pappas is one of the best teachers/instructors I’ve had for anything. His knowledge and more importantly, passion was greatly appreciated. His willingness to answer questions and to go over certain topics as many times as it took for everyone in the class to understand was amazing. I now have the knowledge and confidence to take the national exam and am looking forward to a new and rewarding career. There aren’t enough praises to be sung for Pete and the great people at ICA!!

Taking this class even though I have not completed the full 80 online was very helpfully. This in person class and the knowledge I received will help me in the modules that I have not ben through yet. The instructor Rob Ruggiero was fantastic and brought real world experiences to the training. Highly recommend ICA!!!!

Professional and very detailed informative, definitely a recommended school of a new carrier.

So far I am enjoying the process. I have had some medical issues since signing on, yet that hasn't affected my learning. Had this been a conventional teaching experience i would've had to withdraw from classes. I've been able to do what I can, when I can. I Love it. Love how straight forward everything is, from what to look for, how detailed to get, etc. Thank you so much for making a program that is informative detailed and respected. I look forward to finishing the certification process and growing our family business. My husband who has over 40 years of construction experience is doing the class with me. Its fun having him do this too. Together we are able to talk about the certification. This is a plus for us being that we spend 100% of our time together. I'll update when certification is complete. Going through the marketing and building our LLC... this is going to be amazing.

Ica really helped me understand concept of home building, understanding of different materials and stiles. After all the Floyd stories I could really understand all what stands behind home inspections. I enjoyed going to classes and really opening myself there, Ica is family and I know they will be there for me.

The training is great, very detailed and great visual presentations!!

Chris was amazing he was very informative he was fun to work with I learned a lot from him in the short time that we spent together I would recommend him to teach anybody who needs to learn anything about the home inspection process.?

Love that I can go on when I want. It really works with the schedule I have at the moment. Really great staff and super supportive

Pats 8 day ICA course is absolutely amazing. His approach on teaching the course was so helpful for someone preparing for the test. We look forward to starting our business in the near future thanks to Pat & ICA!

I’ve never met another instructor, teacher, or educator that delivered the material better than Chris Kjeldsen. His instruction was clear, concise, interactive, and most importantly, it was FUN. His dedication to the home inspection profession shines through with every sentence. Chris goes above and beyond for his students, providing additional inspection templates and training materials. At the end of class, he even shared with us his most useful tips for marketing our new small businesses. My time spent with Chris was time (and money) very well spent. I’m confident that his instruction will make me a better inspector.

The experience of attending this class was so inspiring. The knowledge that my instructor Robert Ruggiero has is incredible. Robert opened my eyes to a whole new world about doing inspection. I can't wait to get started thanks to Robert.

Just finished my field training with Chris Kjeldsen. His class was beyond my expectations. Even though the class was quite crowded, he made sure your questions were answered. He keep it real!

My Instructor Chris is very knowledgeable, He helped me setting up the HIP template, I felt very confortable asking any question and he always responded in a very nice way. He presented the information with clarity and he kept me awake, very positive and he is a great helper for my new career. I feel prepare to present then national exam. Chris is an excellent teacher.

The people are great, answered any questions iv had and helped with everything from start to finish.
