Why InterNACHI® Certification Sets the Gold Standard for Home Inspectors

When your family's safety and largest investment depend on a thorough home inspection, the inspector's qualifications matter more than you might realize. While many states lack government licensing for home inspectors and various organizations offer certifications, only one provides the comprehensive training, rigorous standards, and ongoing education that truly protects consumers. Even in states that require licensing, InterNACHI® certification takes licensed inspectors to the next professional level with superior training and accountability.

InterNACHI® stands alone as the only home inspector organization with their own tuition-free college, accredited by a national accrediting agency of the U.S. Department of Education, through InterNACHI® School at www.internachi.edu. This accreditation represents the highest level of educational recognition available, ensuring that InterNACHI® certified inspectors receive training that meets the gold standard for quality and professionalism.

The certification process requires extensive education covering all aspects of residential construction, building systems, safety hazards, and inspection methodology. Unlike organizations and schools that offer quick certifications with minimal training, InterNACHI® requires demonstrated competency through comprehensive valid examinations that test real-world knowledge.

Continuing education requirements ensure that InterNACHI® certified inspectors stay current with evolving building standards, best construction practices, and ever-changing safety concerns. This ongoing accredited training keeps certified inspectors at the forefront of industry knowledge throughout their careers.

InterNACHI® Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics provide the industry's most comprehensive guidelines for professional conduct and inspection requirements. These standards ensure that certified inspectors follow consistent, thorough procedures while maintaining the highest ethical standards in their client relationships.

When selecting an inspector, look for the InterNACHI® CPI® certification logo and verify they hold the Certified Professional Inspector CPI® credential—CPI® shows they've met InterNACHI's rigorous training and testing requirements.
