CanNACHI - Canada's Commercial and Home Inspector Association

NHICC - NOTICE TO ALL HOME & PROPERTY INSPECTORS

On April 7th, 2010 CAHPI suspended the National Certification Authority (NCA), Test Inspections (TIPRs) and processing applications. It also indicates "The provincial or regional chapters of CAHPI will maintain all national certificates until the certificates expire in 2011." It further indicates " Action will be taken to communicate with national certificate holders and candidates to advise them of these developments." To date little has transpired to clearly communicate this message to each and every person impacted by this decision.

Therefore even with certificates expiring in March 2011, all the work, time education and efforts of hundreds of home inspectors to achieve or even aspiring to become a National Certificate Holder seems a shattered endeavour.
 
There is an alternative to this predicament.  A good number of the "former" NCA believe not just in the value of the National Certification Program, but also the intrinsic right to provide a solution by the creation of a new parallel National Home Inspector "national certification program". It will mainly focus on "independent 3rd party certification". Thus a new "national certification program" has been created that is "truly independent", and more so that acts "autonomously", consequently not directly tied to any home inspection association. "Autonomy: in the management and administration of certification is the only way to protect this type of certification program from undue influence. "Autonomy" is required in order for certification programs to serve stakeholder interests, primarily those of consumers of professional services.

We therefore invite you to consider the value in continuing to uphold what you have rightfully achieved, and also offer an opportunity for applicants to consider fulfilling their goals as a National Certificate Holder.

If you need more background and detail, you may read some of the documents provided on our website, particularly the file "NCH Details", or perhaps even complete the online survey "NHICC Home Inspector Survey" to offer your opinion.

Me think that Billy had it nailed pretty well with his comments on another thread when he said:

*Yall seem to jump to the bad conclusion on almost everything, and yall wonder why this industry is so fractured.  theres no room for anyone to even try to be good with out doubt and dimay cast on them.
imho.*

Cheers,

On April 7th, 2010 CAHPI suspended the National Certification Authority (NCA), Test Inspections (TIPRs) and processing applications. It also indicates "The provincial or regional chapters of CAHPI will maintain all national certificates until the certificates expire in 2011."

So does CAHPI still own NCH, as indicated they are suspending the NCH.
If this is the case the NCH will no longer exist.
If I read this correctly a few members are going to create a new association of sorts??
How will the current roster be guided into the "NEW" association.
Will all current NCH holders be grandfathered into the said association ?
Will the new association be required to re apply to BC for consideration of license issuing ( as I see it they were managed by CAPHI) and with new people and CAPHI still being the one that manages the NCH
What is happening with the NCC, Disbanded ?
Who exactly are these NCH people that have joined forces, and what are there mandates and how is this going to be better then the original NCC and or NCH designation.
AS it is a DESIGNATION this means it is as good or no better then the CMI Certified Master Inspector, which is also a designation
Has anyone thought about this fact as well, that designations are initself just a self made ticket that attempts to make one look better then the rest.
Just some food for thought..

Do we really need another designation placed by a few inspectors for inspectors to make them seem elite for the public, but when is the "stakeholders (public clients) really going to be protected. By resurrecting a program that the largest home and commercial inspection association managed  Deemed A FAILURE AND SUSPENDED ITS OPERATION.
Is this a case of a few who cant let go and will at all cost pound it through regardless of the outcome to its current membership..

?? lets debate this what and where the Canadian Inspectors have to say about it

Roy, you hit the nail right on the head!

Helping independent home inspectors, let alone 'everyone'? You mean like BP stopping the oil spill is helping everyone?
