Using the word CERTIFIED may be misused by some, but InterNACHI members earn the right to use the entitlement of CERTIFIED , by continued education and support from fellow members of our association. So when you hear the word CERTIFIED from an InterNACHI member… THEY EARNED IT ! ---

I agree, somewhat, James, but I’ll add that [Certified](http://www.ashi.org/media/press/release110.asp) is really in the eye of the beholder. 😉 ---

One Exam and first year requirements does not not make one qualified to do any Inspection however I do like the logo. So to have this Logo requires responsibility for those that truly want to be Professional and avail themselves of all that InterNachi has to offer in education for free within as short a period of time as they possibly can. ---

So when you hear the word CERTIFIED from an InterNACHI member… THEY EARNED IT ! Wrong… James… do a search of this MB… and somewhere you will find where Nick has explained this a few times… “InterNACHI Certified” simply means that you are a “Certified Member of InterNACHI”. Nothing more, nothing less. InterNACHI “Certifies” nothing. ---

We don’t certify inspections. We certify inspectors. I really can’t think of how to make it clearer. ---

Nick… You used to maintain we have certified members. Perhaps this changed around the time we were forced to change the association name. ---

Yes, we have certified members. Because we certified them. We certify a lot of things including inspectors. ---

> [@](#): > > Do a MB search this can be found How can you find something that I’ve never said? Impossible. If it was possible, you’d have posted a reference. The only reference posted (by Jeffery) has me saying the opposite of what you claim. Again, InterNACHI certifies Inspectors. ---
