Nick thats a good April Fools joke! You have me rolling on the floor laughing! Cheers,

[Nick Gromicko]

No, really, I'll print them off (or at least count them) and take a picture of the stack and add them to that page if you get them for me. No joke.

Nick April Fools Day is over, come-on stop it. I am hyper laughing. Did you post some other April Fools stuff on the site today? I read some posts that look like April Fools pranks? Nick you are the greatest. What a clever way to get mileage and advertising and the hits up! Good one! Cheers,

Nick The benchmark for home inspectors was set long before Nachi came on the scene in Canada. The entry requirements to these associations is much more stringent and rigorous than Nachi, in my opinion from first hand experience. All inspectors would likely agree that they are in favour of entry requirements, to try and dilute entry to an association by way of lowering the standards is questionable. Cheers,

[Nick Gromicko]

http://www.nachi.org/requirementcomparison.htm might be a bit unfair as we are comparing apples and oranges. InterNACHI is an inspection association, not just a home inspection association. Hence www.nachi.org/ancillary.htm many of which have nothing to do with a conventional home inspection. Our required courses and exams reflect that as well. We're soon adding a Meth course and a chimney course to www.nachi.org/rigorous2006.htm, both outside of SOP.

I am happy for Nachi Nick, but the fact remains NACHI entry requirements are substandard to Canadian associations. Members can either be seen to measure up or simply say they measure up. The entry requirements in Canada are not in fault, I believe they are really good, what has soured people is the way its administered by the various groups, it certainly is not necessarily a cohesive group just yet, but it appears it may be getting its act together. Cheers,

Please post the entry requirements for Candians that you speak of Ray.
