Great, maybe the other 174 know which test will be used for testing next year.

Your licensing board has yet to be appointed, meet and decide that yet, Ben. We’re keeping an eye on it.

While I appreciate you keping your eye on it. I was wondering why nobody from Nachi is involved in getting Nachi’s test, or one that we pick installed. Or at least have an inkling of an idea!
Yes, I am watching the website, and have recieved the same email you posted on the board from Carol Kennedy.

What have you been doing in this regard, Ben? It’s your state. What did your representative tell you the last time you spoke with him?
NACHI's position, according to its president, is to keep any legislation free of association bias, and to attempt to have legislation that does not put any current home inspector out of business. There also needs to be provisions to ascertain that anyone entering the profession does so with basic knowledge, training and an understanding of the business.
If the inspectors within a state wish to affect their state's legislation to a greater extent than that, it will be done as a result of their combined efforts.

For those eligible Tennessee home inspectors, NACHI members or otherwise, who have yet to attempt to obtain one of these important seats, you should contact The State of Tennessee Home Inspector Licensing Program, Carol Kennedy, at 615-253-1743 or fax 615-741-6470.
Sometimes it is more effective to have your state legislator for your district, hopefully one who has heard from you often and knows you well, to assist you in getting this appointment.
Good luck, Tennessee.

Yes, I did. Please bring us up to date with the things you have done so far, so that the remaining Tennessee inspectors can pitch in and help you.

Well then, it looks like something needs to begin in Tennessee if NACHI home inspectors - or any other Tennessee home inspectors - hope to have any influence over the rules that will be established by the Committee that is presently being formed.
David Vaudrey, the President of the NACHI chapter in Nashville, has a meeting scheduled for August 20th from 12-4pm @ Montgomery Bell State Park. Contact Tracy at his office for more information. Her email is advantagehi@bellsouth.net. His office # is 615-804-2722. Cell phone is 615-804-6282.
This chapter has been pretty active in the forming of the legislation and is a great starting point for Tennessee home inspectors who wish to get involved.
Good luck.

Hi Ben
I don't know which test will be used.
I would not be surprised if it was the NHIE

Ben,
If you don't have time to shape your own destiny, who do you think should? Having been involved in a couple of states licensing proceedings I can tell you to take the time, because it will not be to your liking if you don't. And if you don't take the time don't whine when it is over and not to your liking. Everybody is busy running their business so why is your time more important than theirs?

tjohn,
As a member of this org (I see you are not) I assumed that someone here may know an inside track. They lay it out before licensing that they have it all taken care of. I have taken the time to prepare my destiny, and my only question was- what test. I will be grandfathered in and will only need to take the test, and was going to get it out of the way.With 5yrs and around 1,800 full insp.. I was not whining and am doing quite fine, the test, and whatever else the state decides will not affect me all that much. Nobody claimed my time was more important. Thank you for correcting me with your seventh post.

The odds are very good that the TN exam will be the NHIE, based on the way the law is written and with conversations I have had with Ms Kennedy. They will not write their own exam due to the cost and they will not use any association based exam.
They hope to have everything in place by the Fall, 2005. If it was me I would go ahead and take the NHIE just to get it out of the way. Once you do pass it you can use it for a license in MS, AL and possible KY.

Take the test Ben, it is also used here in AZ. The odd thing is it had a lot of wierd questions about snow, and boilers?

Glad to help Ben.
Yes the NHIE is a national exam it has questions about heat pumps, boilers, hurricane tie downs, earthquake stuff, air conditioners, swamp coolers, basements, crawl spaces, slabs, wood shingles/shakes and other things that you may never see. But you never know, in Mississippi I have found a couple whole house boilers for the hot water supply and heating. You just never know.
The good news is that it is that there are only a handful of area specific questions on the NHIE.

And not one of them had anything to do with swamp coolers or adobe.
Go figure
