The NACHI COE states that it is the duty of each member to help promote the organization. To that end, a condition of membership in the organization is for any member that has a web site, brochure, or other marketing literature to include NACHI and/or "The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors" (in word, link, and/or text). Should another home inspection association be listed or referred to, it shall be positioned and sized in a manner equal to, or less prominent than that of NACHI. Should any member be found in violation of this rule, membership revocation can occur at any time, and without notice or recourse.
Michael, does that mean that Farsetta and several other of the Nachi Sheep Herders have now placed the InterNachi Logo on their home pages along with their deceptive CMI logos, or is everything in Nick's world still the same, special rules for special fools?
As far as the NHIE goes, at least those taking the test are required to prove WHO they are when taking it unlike online tests where anyone can claim to be anyone they like. Then there's Nick's "statistics" that his online test must be more difficult than the NHIE because his online "exam" has a higher failure rate.
It's like comparing apples and oranges, people who take the NHIE are willing to spend $250 to take the test, many of those who take the INachi online test are just curious about how much they've learned from watching "This Old House" and many are not seriously interested in becoming Home Inspectors, or are hoping to pass with very little experience or education and yet still be able to claim they are Certified", at least that's the big benefit Nick pushes in his Newbie sales pitch on his website.
Instead of buying answers for an ICC Exam on Ebay why didn't Bushart take Joe B's ICC Class, which I've heard is pretty good, after all they seem to be "connected".
