The highest level of ASHI membership is available to inspectors that earn the ASHI Certified Inspector (ACI). The ACI credential is fully accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA). ACI’s are recognized as having the highest standards in the profession. ASHI has established in 1976 by a group of inspectors who really cared about the industry. ASHI’s Standards of Practice were considered trailblazing and were used as a basis for many State SOPs down the road. Many of the laws and SOPs that have helped protect home inspectors for many years were helped along by ASHI originally.
ASHI certified means that you have to have 500 inspections verified, pass a comprehensive knowledge test, pass the background check and continue maintaining professional education course credits. So when you have the full ASHI badge on, that means you really know your stuff.
