AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HOME INSPECTORS
In 1976, a group of visionary home inspectors established the American Society of Home Inspectors, a not-for-profit membership organization. Their goal was to build consumer awareness of home inspection and to enhance professionalism by developing high Standards of Practice and a Code of Ethics.
Today, ASHI is the largest and most respected professional association for home inspectors in North America, with 6,000 members. ASHI's Standards of Practice, covering all of a home's major systems, are specifically noted in state and federal legislation and recognized by consumers as the definitive standard for professional home inspection.

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CERTIFIED HOME INSPECTORS
Unlike other home inspection associations, InterNACHI front-ends many of its certification requirements and requires that its members take many courses and examinations after joining.  In other words, all of our certified members must fulfill certification requirements before they can become certified. Other associations have few or no entrance requirements, and encourage their members and associates to go out and perform hundreds of unqualified inspections for poor, unsuspecting consumers.
InterNACHI's continuing education system automatically logs every course completion to a timestamped transcript. Â More information about the online Continuing Education log.
