Updated Exam Prep Course
A few states, and
even some local municipalities, require you to pass a separate exam for
licensing purposes. Typically, these government-adopted exams
are fundamentally inferior to InterNACHI's Online Inspector Examination. If you are in a jurisdiction that requires you to pass such a licensing exam, don't worry. Help is here.
InterNACHI
has developed the ultimate licensing exam prep tool. It is a simulated
exam designed to provide you with real practice. Right after you answer
each question, you will be told if your answer is correct or incorrect.
It's a great learning tool!
This exam prep tool
allows you to return to it where you left off, again and again, from the
comfort of your own home. The prep exam contains more than 2,000
questions typically found on state and local licensing exams. More
sample questions and their answers are being added every day, so check
back often.

Decay Hazard Index
We recently added a new
illustration, "Decay Hazard Index," to InterNACHI's free gallery of
illustrations for home inspectors to use in their inspection reports.
There
are many best practices followed by builders and building owners. Among
these are recommendations for the dimension of overhangs on
single-story buildings. The dimensions are based upon a decay hazard
index that suggests that the more rain a particular climate has, the
bigger the overhang dimensions could be.
