Hi everyone. This home inspection thing is a change of career for me. Today, I will find out if I will get a training allowance from the government to persue education in home inspection. I think it is important to acquire the proper training in this field and get accredited. I live in Manitoba, Canada, and would like to take the training from a school that is recognized in this area. Any suggestions out there?

Re: newbie
Hi Bruce, thats a very good question. Why home inspection? I've always enjoyed working around the home. My dad is an electrican, and as a lad growing up in Trinidad,W.I, I used to help him repair appliances and wire houses. Dad is a perfectionist in his trade, and that virtue stayed with me. At some time in the past I tried getting apprenticed in plumbing, and carpentry, only to be layed off on the 89th day, so the company wont have to sign the apprentice papers on the 90th day(end of probation period). I was trained as a painter by a master painter who took me under his wing because I showed interest. That training was priceless. I worked for a handyman for some time gaining varied experiences. Then I took diesel mechanics and graduated with a diploma which got me work with CPRail in Winnipeg. I worked there for 20yrs, until a back injury put an end to that. I was told that my employer could not accommedate my return to regular duties because of medical restrictions
So I have to do something different to support my family-an try an give them the quality of life we've gotten used to.
I am a home owner that live in the country-After living out here for over 14yrs, I wonder if any of these country homes got permits when they were built.
I would like to work from home, and would like to see things done correctly. People are being taken for a ride and dont know until its too late. I would like to make a difference. Thats why training is so important.

Re: newbie
This is not totally true. You can go to a good Inspection School of which there are several. And get the proper training and support you need. So you make less mistakes in the beginning and have someone to fall back on when you need that good advice. Although I do not believe in the Government Handouts this is a good cause and I would prefer they go for things in proper education. Most of the schools you get to actually go on an inspection. You get to meet others in the business. You have a better understanding of what you need to do, and what you should report on.
Yes you can go on the internet to the InterNACHI site take there online courses, take there online test (that my 12 year old grandson took and passed) and join InterNACHI. And then call yourself a certified home inspector. This is not really Certification. And not good training for the New Inspector getting into this industry.
You can get the proper training, join a good national association, such as ASHI or NAHI get the proper Certification. Certification through ASHI is the only one that is seen by the Government as meeting the requirements for certification.
I would also recommend that you go on a couple of inspections with a good inspector before even going to get training to see and understand what the inspector has to do. Also after your training that you go on several inspections with a good inspector and learn all you can from him. Then go out on your own.
Don't be that third rate inspector that went on the internet got there training and hung out there shingle. Do the right things to become that good, respected Inspector. Take that six months to a year to do the correct things.

If he's a smart man, before deciding on free online education, he will go to another open to the public home inspector chat board where he will see many inspectors that took the as you claim "free" training , bitch and moan how other inspectors that paid for professional training are getting all of the work, and the ones that went the "free" way and bought supper dupper non-verified certificiations, are hanging out 24-7 on that site hoping to get some usless freebies, going broke, getting out of business or have to get 2nd jobs.

Show me where InterNACHI got there accreditations from. You do not have a third party that maintains and gives your test. What Standards do the Inspectors with InterNACHI really have to meet. They are Certified the day they send you money to become a member of your association. So the day they go out to do there first inspection by your standards they are certified. You say that you have a 40/60 percent pass/fail rate for the InterNACHI test. If you have 60% fail rate those that fail your test should not take it over because they should not even be trying to get into the Inspection industry.
Lisa you belong to a third rate association that has set this industry back by about 10 to 20 years.
A person that is wishing to become an Inspector should get into it the correct way. Not going through a third rate internet association and getting the word Certified in front of there name. They should get the proper training from a CERTIFIED school. Join a truly accredited association. And go through the proper procedures to get that certification that they can be proud of. They're not going to find PRIDE anywhere with InterNACHI.

Re: newbie
Not to beet things up at all but just as any company or organization, especially a home inspector association.....INACHI did not pay to have any of it's video education courses made. The members paid for it. There is a serious amount of cash that flows into INACHI every year,,,,,a large fortune. INACHI pays for nothing. All the outside businesses partners and business ventures and all it's members pays for everything so nothing is free and I wish I could for once stop reading this....everything is free story, over and over and over and over.
If someone thinks that they are getting something for nothing or if someone is telling you it is free.................the trust should stop right there. Nothing is free in life. It is paid for by someone and if you become a member you are one of the ones paying for it. Everything INACHI does is done by it's members as in its members and business associates.
There is someone else that comes on here saying he does this and he does taht and it is all for free. He donates his time..............like he is not making a financial return for his "donation". No one works for nothing. Everyone that does anything related to work gets paid for it monetarily one way or another.
Nothing is free

Hubert Young,
Hello and welcome.
Sorry your introduction to the forum has been spammed by L.E.
Good luck in your endeavors.
Lisa Endza,
When/if Inter-Nachi becomes a NON-PROFIT legitimate professional ORGANIZATION, it might have a chance. As it is a for-profit enterprise, pay for your advertising to be placed where it belongs, in the proper manner, or knock it off.
In the meantime don't spam topic threads, don't derail discussions, and especially don't infiltrate Self-Introductions by new members of THIS FORUM.
In the mean time as a for-profit personal capital machine its "educational" arm is nothing more than a diploma mill.
Anyway, it matters not what Lisa E or the other family members have to say on the subject.
The OP is in Canada, and frankly if he's interested in taking recognized technical or college educational courses, leave him alone with the unsolicited infomercial spam. I seriously doubt your enteprise is a worthy or approved use of such funding.
He's asking here, not on YOUR hosted site.So far the OP hasn't asked YOU a single question, your unending solicitiation and spam reeks of despiration and is beyond tiresome.
You and your spam are off topic, unwelcome, and unappreciated. We all know there IS NO FREE LUNCH!
PLEASE STOP IT NOW.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nothing there that I would be proud of. A Certified Member of InterNACHI can say that they are Certified before they go out on there first inspection. Allot of words that mean nothing
The good inspector is going to go out and get the proper training that they need to be that Best Inspector. That does not come from InterNACHI.

There are several good options for Hubert to get the correct education that he needs. InterNACHI is not one of them.
Hubert
Look into one of these for the proper education that you need:
Home Inspection Institute.
Carson Dunlap
OAHI.
You can find their information on the internet. All are accredited schools in Canada. And much better than InterNACHI. There are other good schools in Canada also. The good schools are accredited. You will receive much more from them then you will ever receive from InterNACHI. You say you wish to help people, do what is correct.

Re: newbie
- The practice of home inspection is licensed in some, but not all, states. If you are interested in becoming a home inspector, it is important to get a list of approved home inspection training programs from your state licensing board. While home inspection education is available from accredited institutions, many states approve training programs that are offered through unaccredited institutions.
- A school is accredited when an outside body (an "accreditor" or an "accreditation agency") evaluates the school and determines that its educational programs meet the accreditor's standards. In the United States, accreditation is performed by private, rather than governmental, agencies.

Re: newbie
You are not welcome!
Though I appreciate your ability to twist everyone's statements to try and be in your favor, you missed my point!
Many States approve training from unaccredited institutions.
Then I gave a definition of what an Accredited School goes through an Independent third party for there accreditation.
I only see State approvals for yours, THAT IS NOT AN ACCREDIDATION!
Accreditation is handed out by Third Party organizations, NOT government agencies.
So, unless you have been evaluated by a third party accreditation service, you are NOT Accredited
Have you ever been evaluated by an Accreditation provider?
If not just please stop saying you are Accredited Schooling.

Re: newbie
None of the home inspection schools mentioned in this thread are accredited by them.
My understanding is that home inspection schools fall under ARELLO which formed a subsidiary to certify distance learning home inspection instructors called IDECC.
The following is from their website.
ARELLO Distance Education Certification Program serves the real estate industry while IDECC was formed to serve all other industries and academic institutions.

You keep talking about entrance requirements but fail to point out the differences. Yes you may be a member of ASHI without taking any tests. Just like you can be a member of the NRA and never own a firearm.
You need to compare apples to apples. ASHI Certified Inspectors vs. NACHI Certified Inspectors. The requirements for ASHI are much more than an online exam.
You asked,Do Universities send their students somewhere else to take their quizzes and exams?

You can't be a practicing lawyer, doctor, or engineer without taking proctored tests. Sure you can get a degree but without passing the proctored test you can't practice your profession.

Long term nicki certified inspectors don't have a clue what the requirements are, or what their certification really means, newbees are really confused
It is kinda funny to read the posts.. A few will get POd because they cannot get a staright answer, ole nicki will play a long for a while, after 50 posts and a few hundred views, { nickis gotta do what ever it takes to keep those #s up to impress the newbys ] it looks like a few are ready to call it quits. About that time ole nicki will through them another bone and the nicki certifieds come ah lapping and drolling with their toungs hanging out for more worthless promises and freebies.

Re: newbie
Yes, ASHI requires its certified inspectors to pass the NHIE. The NHIE is the only test commonly recognized as the proficiency test for home inspectors. Nachi does not require this test for their certification. Instead it has a 100 question online quiz, most of it having nothing to do with home inspections, as it's certification test.
If your courses are "above and beyond" that beginner's exam don't you think it would be wise to require that exam as part of your certification? Seriously, that exam is required for licensing in most states...why not require it for your certification?

Re: newbie
Lisa you have been off topic since you came on here.
Accredited internet schools offering Home Inspection courses: Ashworth Collage, Strafford Collage, Allied, and Penn Foster. and there are others. InterNACHI not among them.
Checking with IDECC, CSS-MSA, or DETC of which all can Accredit a home inspection course. InterNACHI's name does not come up. Why is that? If InterNACHI is an Accredited internet School, show your letter of accreditation. Very simple. I do not wish to know how many IDECC members that you have. I wish to see your letter of accreditation.
You like to say that InterNACHI member has a harder time to get InterNACHI certification then a then a full Member of ASHI. You know this is not true. Certified in front of the name of a InterNACHI member amounts to taking a 100 question Test on the internet (that a 12 year old can pass). Taking some online courses. And sending you money. And then going out and doing inspections. OH and printing off the internet a piece of paper that says they are certified.
YOU can join ASHI without taking a test. But you can not become a full member until you meet all the requirements of membership.
InterNACHI will never be better than ASHI or NAHI or even AHA. InterNACHI will always be that third rate association that the good honest Inspectors are going to stay away from.
Any new Inspector that reads this look into the schools that meet the accreditation of the industry. Remember nothing is free.

If we cannot get rid of their crap, bashing, name calling and lying about other inspectors by asking , maybe we can get rid of them by making them go broke or by having Brian cancel their account for non payment.

Re: newbie

You statedWe already do require it in states that have adopted it for licensing along with anything else the state requires for an initial license.
What sleazy association would use the same exam used by states to license newbies fresh out of school, as the basis to issue their highest "certified" membership status? That would be appalling.

Re: newbie
Bruce one correction to become nachi certified, an inspector does not have to take any on-line courses first.
All one needs to do is just promise to take the courses in a certain point of time, noboby has a clue if the inspector took any courses , like the on line quiz nobody knows who took it, that's all on the honor system.
It's clear how honest nicky is, how in the heck could he in good faith cancel a membership if he found out the certfied inspector never did any of the requirements.

Re: newbie

Since you're so fond of posting links back to your site, please post a link that shows you require passing...
State licensing requirements are a minimum. Again, InterNACHI's extensive course requirements are above and beyond, and in addition to, whatever your particular state requires.
Dan's brilliant idea

If we cannot get rid of their crap, bashing, name calling and lying about other inspectors by asking , maybe we can get rid of them by making them go broke or by having Brian cancel their account for non payment.
We recommend Allied. They are a very good school. In fact, we love Allied.
Now there is only one inspection school in our industry that has an IDECC Certified Distance Learning Instructor on staff, full-time. It isn't Allied, but we strongly recommend Allied.

Re: newbie
I see Nachi employees don't have to abide by their code of ethics. Lisa, you've spewed another lie. There is no requirement for Nachi certified inspectors to pass the NHIE. Heck, it's a beginners exam. But you're afraid your membership would drop in half because your members can't pass the test and you know it. At least ASHI Certified Inspectors have to show they know the basics before they are given Certified status.
10. The InterNACHI member shall comply with all government rules and licensing requirements of the jurisdiction where he/she conducts business.
Heck your company is so disrespected that the cities of Minneapolis and St Paul won't accept Nachi membership as pre-qualifications for Truth in Sale of Housing inspections. Where they do allow ASHI, NAHI and the NHIE.

Re: newbie
At least ASHI makes them take the beginners exam before the pass out the "Certified" label.
By contrast, while ASHI's 30-second, come-only-with-cash, unqualified members are out there harming consumers and our profession, trying to get their inspections in, InterNACHI members are taking their state-approved courses, taking quizzes, and taking exams.
There really is no comparison.
Now back on topic. There is only one inspection school in our industry that has an IDECC Certified Distance Learning Instructor on staff, full-time, and you know which school that is.

Re: newbie
And what do the 70 % of wanta be inspectors that cannot pass your online quiz for 10-15 times do, before they figure out they can get someone else to take the quiz for them so can get certified by you?
Whats unconscional is seeing some of the questions asked by your "certfied " inspectors, about an inspection they are doing on your chat board!
