NHIE

[Nick Gromicko]

Like momma used to say if ya got nothing good to say, keep your mouth shut.

My momma used to say "call 'em like you see 'em"

Nick never seems to get the simple message that these negative commentarys about other state or national orgs or tests or whatever casts a negative impression on this organizations members.

If the mini orgs don't like it when they hear me point out that they have no entrance requirements... maybe they should adopt some entrance requirements. If the mini orgs don't like it when I point out that they have no approved education... maybe they should offer some approved education. If the mini orgs don't like it when I point out that they have no marketing programs... maybe they should develop some marketing programs. If the mini orgs don't like it when I point out that they have almost no membership benefits... maybe they should provide their members with some benefits.

Joe Hagarty correctly points out:

we have succeeded (to the financial dismay of others)

Yep. Inspectors are big boys who vote with their membership dues. Joe Hagarty and I didn't go around with a gun, forcing ASHI members to switch to InterNACHI and there is no fence around InterNACHI keeping members trapped here. We have an absurdly high renewal rate for good reason. InterNACHI is strong because we work hard for our members.

Preparing for NHIE.

For 5 years I've taught a 1 day class once a year on Preping for the NHIE, NAHI CRI exam, or varied state licensing exams (like Texas, etc).

Use the NACHI practice exam and Code Check.

After short Seminar I Got about a 95% pass rate for anybody.

Guys it ain't rocket science. At LEAST 50% of the questions on any home inspector exam are gonna be the same REGARDLESS of whose test.

Simple Questions like ..............

1. How many flips of hand to turn off all service in house / 6
2. Can Neutral & Ground Wires Be Mixed In A Sub-Panel / No
3. How high must entry wires be over a flat roof / 8'
4. What size copper wire for 15 amp breaker / #14

Bottom Line / If you don't know stuff like this go to HI School or don't inspect

Here's a question they should add to their exam pool:

Q: What do you get when you cross an ASHI member with a gorilla?
A: A dumb gorilla.

Just messin' with ya Brian.

Get Real .... You Get

Q: What do you get when you cross an ASHI member with a gorilla?

Hey Bill,

What worked for me was taking your 120 hour class over at IFREC and going over the Practice for State Licensing Exam they have here on INACHI. The practice exam was a great tool!! Passed the test yesterday first try. Thanks Bill and INACHI for helping get me on my way!
