I just finished a 8 day webinar class with ICA Schools; 8 long 10 hrs days. The day after I reviewed all the slides, SOP and Ethics. The test is based on the ASHI SOP and ethics, not InterNACHI- very close though. The day after that I tested. Finished in 107 minutes (240 max) and scored a 640. The version test I had was not technical. Mostly common sense. After I got home, I went thru the NHIE books and highlighted what I could remember.
Note: I also completed the CPI certification during COVID before the exam.
great job, Doug!
Ernest, try this:
Contact some CMIs or CPIs within 40 to 50 miles, or closer, to your area and communicate with them. Maybe one, or more, will help you. Some inspectors feel as though they are training their competition by ride-alongs or mentoring or hiring.
Here is the link for CMIs: Find a Certified Master Inspector®
And the link for CPIs: Find Certified Home Inspectors Near You - InterNACHI®
And Mentors: Home Inspector Mentoring - InterNACHI®

Damn! I was under the impression that asking IS researching.
Not even close!
Hey man, I know this is an old post, but I am preparing to take the NHIE and I just want to thank you for taking the time you did to help out folks like us. Even though inspections is a competitive market, it seems to me we should be looking out for each other. I hope you are doing well in your inspection career ect!
Personally what helped me was to set aside 2 hours per day, or at the minimum just 1 and study the online course every day, after I finished with the online learning I read through the entire textbook that AHIT provided. At my own pace 20 pages a day or so, took the NHIE twice and passed the second time! Good luck on your journey!
