All that NACHI actually "certifies" is one's membership in NACHI.

Yes... and same definition for IAC2.

[Nick Gromicko]

Jim is correct. InterNACHI certification is a certification showing that you joined InterNACHI.

Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) is nice because it is an actual professional designation registered on the Principal Register. It shows you are a member in good standing.

The 40 or so courses certifications show you completed a particular course and passed the final exam.

Then there are 3 IAC2 certifications for radon, mold, or both.

And Infrared Certified which is another professional designation.

And finally Certified Master Inspector which is a Registered Federal Certification Mark and the inspection industry's highest professional designation.

Professional Designation?? How do you figure that??

[Nick Gromicko]

That's what it is, a professional designation for professionals in the inspection business.
