Most online building inspection courses stop at theory, and many are built on foreign building codes that don’t apply in South Africa. SAHITA is different.
With SAHITA online training, you don’t just read about how to inspect a building. You carry out mock inspections of real buildings using professional inspection software, applying South African standards to components from foundations, walls and roofs to plumbing, electrical installations and finishes.
SAHITA assesses your reports, so you finish the course with proven practical skills, not just a certificate that confirms theoretical knowledge.
Every SAHITA module is built around the rules that govern building in South Africa. You’ll learn not just what a defect is, but which South African regulation or standard it breaches and why it matters.
Grounded in South African regulations
The course covers the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, the SANS 10400 series and NHBRC requirements. Each topic also includes the specific standards that apply, such as SANS 10142 for electrical installations and SANS 10252 for water supply and drainage.
SAHITA CBHI students train using InspectForge, the professional AI-powered inspection software used by HouseCheck and working inspectors internationally. Every student receives a free InspectForge student account for the duration of the course.
Study online in your own time and, on completion, receive the widely recognised SAHITA Certificate of Competence. Our qualifications are endorsed by the National Association of Building Inspectors of South Africa (NABISA) as well as many government and private institutions.
Unique to SAHITA
This in-depth focus on South African building regulations and SANS 10400, combined with assessed, hands-on inspection training, is unsurpassed in South Africa. No other online building inspection course offers it.
Our 2026 curriculum is aligned with the approved curriculum of the QCTO National Building Inspector Qualifications – NQF 5 & NQF 6 – which have now been registered by SAQA (ID: 335913). SAHITA will offer a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway to NQF 5 & 6 – once SAHITA’s accreditation as a Skills Provider is approved by QCTO (expected early 2027). Here’s what you’ll get:
