ICA and InterNACHI Form Strategic Alliance to Enhance Home Inspector Success

In an industry-first move, Inspection Certification Associates (ICA) has partnered with the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) to create a groundbreaking new package designed to support aspiring home inspectors in launching successful careers. This initiative is timely, as home inspection is a rapidly growing profession with expanding opportunities.

The newly introduced Elite Package is much more than just training; it serves as a comprehensive resource for home inspectors, aiming to turn them into skilled professionals. The partnership will provide ICA students with a year of fully funded membership to InterNACHI, a prominent organization recognized as the largest inspection trade association globally. This membership gives these aspiring inspectors access to an extensive network filled with essential tools, resources, and deep mentorship opportunities.

One of the standout features of this partnership is the access to certification pathways, business coaching materials, marketing resources, and inspection forms tailored to facilitate a smooth entry into the business world. Moreover, students will receive support for passing their licensing exams—a critical step in establishing their careers. The educational resources integrated into this package not only prepare them for passing their tests, but also help them learn from more experienced peers, which is instrumental during their initial career stages.

Understanding the importance of hands-on experience, the partnership extends further by providing direct access to a national mentorship program. This program leverages InterNACHI’s vast network of certified home inspectors, allowing ICA students access to real-world experience. This direct benefit is vital as it fosters practical knowledge and personalized guidance, equipping students with insights to help them flourish in their careers.

Nader Qaimari, the CEO of Edcetera, which owns ICA, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, "This partnership is a game-changer for our students. It's critical to support what happens immediately after our courses to ensure career success. By providing them with InterNACHI’s extensive business development tools and networking opportunities, we're committed to helping them establish a successful inspection business right from the start."

InterNACHI’s founder, Nick Gromicko, echoed this sentiment, expressing enthusiasm about the collaboration aimed at helping more individuals enter this lucrative profession and integrate into the InterNACHI community. The goal is clear: by working together, they can pave a path toward success for the new home inspectors entering the field.

The offerings included in the Elite Package alongside the InterNACHI membership comprise:
  • - Access to the InterNACHI inspector mentoring program along with regular webinars to keep inspectors updated and informed.
  • - Business planning calculators, legal templates, and marketing design services that enable aspiring inspectors to create professional business plans and marketing strategies.
  • - Free or discounted access to essential inspection tools and textbooks via InspectorOutlet.com, which will greatly reduce the initial investment to start their inspection business.
  • - Eligibility for InterNACHI's Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) designation, providing recognized accreditation for successful completion of their training.
  • - Enhanced listing opportunities and exclusive benefits associated with being a Certified Professional Inspector, including warranty programs that bring added value to their business offerings.

Additionally, ICA has been appointed as an official InterNACHI partner school, granting students unique capabilities, including utilizing InterNACHI’s House of Horrors® facilities for hands-on training, which is unparalleled in the industry.

This strategic partnership illustrates a strong commitment from both organizations to elevate the standards within the home inspection profession, ensuring that inspectors receive the utmost support throughout their careers. The collective goal is not only to educate but also to empower, enabling students to thrive in a competitive market.
