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!!
