This initiative is called the National Certification Program. The program was established to allow home and property inspectors to be certified as competent and qualified professionals. The National Certification Program is managed and administered by the National Certification Authority.
The National Certification Authority is comprised of individuals appointed by the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI) and individuals elected by National Certificate Holders from all provinces. The National Certification Council will undertake certification assessments and make recommendations to the National Certification Authority as to what stage an individual fits within the National Certification process. The National Certification Council is appointed by the National Certification Authority and its membership is comprised of home inspectors and respected members of the community.
