Inspection Excellence through Education and Camaraderie.
Just as iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17.
Members of the National Association of Certified Home
Inspectors (NACHI) are the most educated and best trained
inspectors in the world and NACHI is committed to keeping
it that way. Toward that end NACHI has taken steps to
encourage member pursuit and maintenance of inspection
excellence and we have accomplished this without additional
charge to members. We believe that fees, like taxes,
deter professional development and that the best way
to encourage the continuing education of our membership
is by supporting variety, accessibility and affordability
in educational options.

to alert members to areas they are over and/or under
inspecting. All three are pre-application requirements

educational inspection-related crossword puzzles, open-to-all

A variety of accessible and affordable educational options

of all our members, but our most precious educational
tool is our spirit of camaraderie. NACHI members continue
to pursue, achieve and maintain inspection excellence
in an atmosphere of members helping fellow members.
Please join us in this spirit.
