I will suggest creating a state variable for TextEditingController for statefulwidget and to set the text. use

TextEditingController.fromValue(TextEditingValue(text: inspectionTypeDis));

Widget structure can be

final TextEditingController controller = TextEditingController();
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Consumer<Certificates>(builder: (context, value, child) {
    final cerData = value....;
    if (cerData != null) {

    //  your logic
      controller.text =  "";
    }
    return TextFormField(
      controller: controller,
    );
  });
}

What you could to is to change your TextField for a TextFormField with an initialValue.

TextFormField(
        initialValue: cerData['inspectionType'],
        onChanged: (text) {
          inspectionTypeDis = text;
        },
        decoration: const InputDecoration(
          border: OutlineInputBorder(
              borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(4))),
        ),

EDIT

Here is a fully example using a StatefulWidget using the snippet I provide above.

class Test extends StatefulWidget {
  const Test({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _TestState createState() => _TestState();
}

class _TestState extends State<Test> {
  String _inspectionTypeDis = 'initialValue';

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Column(
        children: [
          TextFormField(
            initialValue: _inspectionTypeDis,
            onChanged: (text) {
              _inspectionTypeDis = text;
            },
            decoration: const InputDecoration(
              border: OutlineInputBorder(
                  borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(4))),
            ),
          ),
          TextButton(
              child: const Text('Print value'),
              onPressed: () => print(_inspectionTypeDis)),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
