If you live in a state that requires its home inspectors to be licensed, here are some important things you should know regarding your training through InterNACHI®:
The requirements to earn your InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector (CPI)® credential are likely different from the requirements needed to obtain your state home inspector's license. To find out more about your state's requirements, you can visit https://www.nachi.org/pre and select your state.
Your state will probably require you to successfully pass a national exam. A few states have approved InterNACHI's Online Inspector Exam for this purpose. You're also required to pass it to become an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector®, and re-take it every three years to maintain your membership in good standing. This unproctored online exam is free for members and non-members alike.
