Default Enter your state home inspection license here, and we'll auto submit your CEs.

http://www.nachi.org/state-licenses

... and we'll auto submit any of our online or video courses that you take and pass to the states for CE purposes. If you are licensed in more than one state you can enter more than one state.

Good Luck with Massachusetts, Nick.

They will not approve association credits, only individual instructors.

What are "association credits" ?

Mass already approved one of our courses and we've submitted 2 more www.nachi.org/advancedcourses.htm

Don't most states require that the course be approved before you take it.?

Yes, most states require that the course be approved. We have many dozens of course approvals now.

No, most states do not require proctoring. Online, video, and correspondence courses are accepted by most licensed states.

I guess the question is..does iNACHI cross-reference the course taken & passed to the appropriate state's approved course list before sending them notification that the member has taken & passed the course? I don't think I would want my state licensing agency getting notification unless it were an approved course.

Michael, yes. In fact, the states don't want data from courses they don't approve.

It is interesting to note that in the history of InterNACHI, we have not had a single state refuse to approve any of our courses. Says much for the quality of our courses, and with video, they are getting even better www.nachi.org/advancedcourses.htm

We hava as a goal, to provide all the continuing education for the inspection industry worldwide.

great idea Nick.

are you going to send out a confirmation that it was sent to our state commission so we can follow up? with TREC if you don't send things certified mail they tend to never receive them so that would be my concern. i have heard of so many tx inspectors having problems with their mailroom.

Nick,

Please don't play with me. You know what association credits are, and you know that Massachusetts Board of HI's will not approve iNACHI CEC's. They only approve individual instructors, one at a time.

Yes, they did approve two courses where two individuals came to Boston and presented their course outline directly to the board. These courses were approved only because the individuals appeared before the board and personally went over their course outline to the board members.

They absolutely will not approve on-line courses in any way whatsoever. We already went through this dilemma several years ago.

Illinois must be one that does.
