Another great reason to be connected with NACHI. Nobody else out there will be able to offer this. This will be great for our marketing! ---

I have been waiting on this since Nick mentioned it a couple of years back. It sounds like we all are exited. ---

> [@gromicko](#): > > It’s not a designation. It’s a real college degree. InterNACHI is close to becoming an actual University. Sorry, that is what I meant. What would qualify a member for the degree? Meeting the membership requirements or would there be something additional that would have to be taken? Nick, great job on this!!! ---

We’ll release the list of coursework you have to complete to earn the degree. We still have a few more textbooks to finish as well. ---

Good. This will entice more InterNachi members to actually take more of the available courses. Instead of only taking the 3 or 4 minimum to become certified members. ---

Online. But our physical schools will be able to offer the classroom courses just like they do now. ---

Very cool. On a related subject, has InterNachi considered offering training in HUD 203k Consulting? I have been a HUD 203k Consultant for a couple of years and consider quitting on a fairly regular basis. This often calls for what amounts to a home inspection…as well as performing construction draw inspections. The most difficult issue is contending with the Lenders in the interpretation of HUD directives, handbooks, etc. This would be a great one for Legal to be involved in… ---
