I expect a lot more then Just NICK can .
I guess most Canadians do not wish to as they have seen how those who complain are treated by the Leaders of the Canadian associations.
Prime example is Bill Mullen's answer to many who give information or ask questions.
Unfortunately he has a hard time trying to be civil.

Roy,

Is the NATIONAL CERTIFICATION program pretty much dead, as far as having any impact on the licensing process goes?

I have also heard that CAHPI is also a lame duck and will NOT be in charge of anything but their own membership.

What have you heard?

I have heard they are broke owe a lot of money and they need NACHI so bad they could be going to offer a NACHI members the same price as they are charging CAHPI to join the NCP.
This might have worked a year ago but I think it is slowly sinking .
To many secrets too little information.

I see no reason to expect many if any more NACHI members join.

As usual, you heard wrong. (or rather made it up)

Both CAHPI and the National Certification Program are doing very well, thank-you. In fact, with well over 500 inspectors involved, (many NACHI members) we are the largest group of properly certified home inspectors in Canada.

NACHI members are welcome to join, but frankly, we are happy with the numbers so don't break an arm filling out the application if you don't want to. There will certainly be no need for the NCA to make concessions to attract people. We also don't need to waste our time trying to provide answers to abusive questions.

All the answers non-participants need or deserve are on the NCA website.

It's fair to everyone and will stay the same.

I was at the OAHI south west meeting yesterday and those in attendance were informed that OAHI has not signed an equivalency agreement with the NCA, and if not signed in the very near future OAHI members will have to pay the same price as non CAPHI members.

That's right, Rob. That's proof of how fair the program is. The Equivalency Agreement allows members of those groups affected to easier access because their association would have provided some required information. If OAHI chooses not to participate, their members who apply will get no better rates, etc. than NACHI people.

However, due to the strong membership vote in favour of them signing, (33 to 1) I would be surprised if it doesn't happen soon.

Oh oh. I thought OAHI had contractual obligations vis-a-vis the National. The way around this roadblock is for the National to keep the fee in place as if there was an equivalency agreement.

They have a deadline and they will be held to it. The NCA will not bend the rules, because they adhere to a clear, strong Code of Ethics. As an example of democracy in action, the members at the Southwestern Ontario Meeting yesterday passed this motion:

Moved by: Bill Mullen, RHI
Seconded by: Bryan Freeman, RHI

We, the members of the Southwestern Ontario Meeting Group of OAHI / CAHPI Ontario wish to re-affirm our strong support for the National Certification Program. We encourage the Board of Directors to follow the wishes of the membership as it has been confirmed on several occasions that OAHI / CAHPI Ontario support the National Certification Program and participate fully in its goals and functions.

We urge the OAHI / CAHPI Ontario Board of Directors to respect and fulfill its obligations to that initiative as it has promised to do several times in the past.

We further urge the Board of Directors to immediately sign and respect the Equivalency Agreement between our provincial association and the National Certification Authority. We understand that if this agreement is not in place, access into the program for our members will be much more onerous and the costs will be substantially higher.


Votes in favour: 33
Votes against: 1
Abstention: 1

Motion carried.

..ee so glad for you Bill you have put a lot of effort into this..

All the answers non-participants need or deserve are on the NCA website.

Is OAHI with holding any funds from CAHPI? Given the grave concerns about the financial situation can you be sure CAHPI has rec'd its fair share of OAHI funds?

I have no way to know. I am no longer on the CAHPI Board in any capacity. (After nine years) My only involvement is on the National Certification Authority which receives no funding whatsoever from CAHPI or OAHI.
