Infrared Certified

[kscott]

I have been a certified Level 2 infrared thermographer for 2 years now through Infraspection Institue. I have performed PPM inspections for several resort communities and have been performing energy surveys and energy loss evaluations in the area I live. My question is this...Am I able to use the Certified Infrared logo through InterNACHI as well, or do I need to perform the additional classes to utilize this benefit?

I read the requirements. I have been tested and have performed 64 hours of infrared training in those areas. Did you do the additional NACHI courses on top of your IR training?
