International Code Council partners with InterNACHI
We are thrilled to announce a partnership between International Code Council
(ICC) and InterNACHI. ICC and InterNACHI will be offering advanced continuing education
options for home inspectors. InterNACHI members will be treated (and more importantly
charged) just as if they are members of ICC. The first of these advanced offerings
is coming up in Austin Texas in February. Details are as follows:
2005 Residential Inspection Institute
February 14-18, 2005

ICC, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) and the
Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) present this opportunity to those who desire to increase their level of proficiency

inspections.
