Roy, I agree. A great marketing tool/designation that is easily obtainable by anyone who operates in a licensed state. Most (if not all) home inspectors in licensed/regulated states automatically qualify for the CMI designation. ---

> [@jbowman](#): > > Roy, > > I agree. A great marketing tool/designation that is easily obtainable by anyone who operates in a licensed state. Most (if not all) home inspectors in licensed/regulated states automatically qualify for the CMI designation. LOL. Pretending to be supportive while diminishing the stature of the program is something fitting for one of your ilk. How often DO you shed your skin? The most meaningless designation available to a NACHI member, today, has become the title “Executive Director” - when not used by the actual man in power, Nick Gromico. Your demeaning remarks geared toward this program are not necessary and are not appreciated outside of your very small circle. As easy as this designation is to obtain, according to you, it must be excrutiatingly painful (with the title you carry) to be ineligible to obtain this designation for yourself. Perhaps that is your motivation for putting it down. ---

Most (if not all) home inspectors in licensed/regulated states automatically qualify for the CMI designation. Which states produce brand new inspectors with a combined total of 1000 fee-paid inspections and/or education hours? :roll: And… because of the new CMI requirement, which states produce new inspectors with 3 years experience on the first day they get their license? :roll: ---

I think John McKenna deserves the opportunity to make the changes to the program that he feels are necessary prior to pointing the finger at a program that he recognizes needs changes. Welcome to the fray, John. Finger pointing comes from all sides. ---

I believe Texas requires the most education hours in the United States, to be licensed as a home inspector. They require 488 educational hours. So how do new inspectors automatically and ethically reach the 1000 mark John? Are you OK? Are you having medical problems, John? ---

Yeah, John M. > [@](#): > > Most (if not all) home inspectors in licensed/regulated states automatically qualify for the CMI designation. He said “most if not all”. He didn’t say “new”.:roll: I think somebody needs to start adding water to their Scotch.😉 [Next page](https://forum.nachi.org/t/cmi-application/18542.md?page=2)
