InterNACHI is another step closer to offering an accredited college degree in home inspections with the completion, 5-year study, and finalization of our Job Task Analysis for home inspectors:

I’m looking it over right now Nick & it looks to be self explanatory. Looks good.

All acronyms should be spelled out at first use, i.e. MLS would be Multiple Listing Service (MLS),* Exterior Insulation & Finish System (EIFS)*, etc.

Hi, Michael B –

I fixed those abbreviations (although they’re uncapped unless they’re proper nouns).

Thanks for pointing them out!

mboyett · June 9, 2015, 3:50am

No problem but there are many more acronyms in the document other than those two, I quickly counted at least 8 others. No big deal though.

Hi again, Michael B –

Are you talking about abbreviations that aren’t spelled out? Which ones? We’d like to plug any holes.

Thanks!

belliott · June 9, 2015, 4:42am

Quite detailed.

mboyett · June 9, 2015, 1:07pm

For example, HVAC, CO, OSB, SIPS, TPR, maybe others.

wsibilla · June 9, 2015, 1:55pm

How far away would you estimate InterNACHI is from offering such a degree?

gromicko · June 9, 2015, 4:02pm

We’re shooting for the end of this year. In the meantime, we keep acquiring governmental approvals: www.nachi.org/approved.htm

ktarasenko · June 9, 2015, 5:22pm

Hey, Michael B –

I’ve taken care of these. Please let me know if you notice any others, and thanks a bunch!

gromicko · June 9, 2015, 8:11pm

Michael, please email me fastreply@nachi.org your shipping address.

mboyett · June 9, 2015, 11:22pm

Nick, I truly appreciate the apparent offer of goodies but being retired I have no need for anything at this point. Thanks though

tmoffitt · June 14, 2015, 9:59pm

I will always take free stuff in his stead. :mrgreen:

Nick,

I am curious if the InterNACHI Associates Degree will be considered an actual “accredited” degree? For instance, if I took my InterNACHI AA to the University of Florida, would they recognize it and credit me for those credit hours? I know that is very tough to get.

gromicko · June 15, 2015, 1:45am

Yes. U.S. Dept. of Education. And InterNACHI will be an actual University soon.

fcarrio · June 17, 2015, 12:07am

Nick….You never cease to amaze me! Keep up the hard work

U DA MAN:p

rshoberg · June 18, 2015, 6:24pm

Will courses that you have already taken be counted toward the degree? and If you are already an InterNACHI member will need to go to student status to participate in this program?

gromicko · June 18, 2015, 9:16pm

Robin,
Yes.
No.

I’ve found a couple of duplicate listings. In Domain 1: Knowledge of: Interviewing Techniques is twice and in Domain 2: Ability to: Inspect roof ventilation also is twice. So far I’ve read to Domain 3: Task 4 have not seen anything else. I do see a lot studying in my future and very much look forward to it. Keep up the great work!!!
