Read the Appication closely, she could have performed inspections in any field or for anything, and still be qualified, a True MASTER of Home Inspection.
You need to read it again. Those who misrepresent something need corrected:
CMI Application - Certified Master Inspector
Have completed 1,000 fee-paid inspections or hours of inspection-related continuing education (combined) in your lifetime.
a. Experience: Inspections must have been performed for actual fee-paying clients, but do not have to be your clients (you can count inspections you performed while working for someone else). Limit one inspection per residence (3 inspections on one HOME count as one inspection).
b. Education: The Master Inspector Certification Board’s qualifying continuing education subject matter is quite broad. Anything one could reasonably deem to be inspection-related qualifies, including classroom, home study, and online courses and seminars. Business success, accounting, marketing, etc. courses do not count. Repeated courses do not count twice. Hours count hour-for-hour. For example: If it takes you 6 hours to complete a course, it counts as 6 hours. The Board realizes that applicants may not have maintained proof of every hour of continuing education accumulated but applicants should be able to offer a list substantially demonstrating completion of the hours of inspection-related education completed in their lifetime.
