The National Home Inspector Certification Council(NHICC) is a non-profit corporation controlled by an elected Board of Directors. The main purpose of the NHICC is to provide a background review and assessment system that will independently certify home inspectors that meet the National Occupational Standard. The "program" is open to all home inspectors regardless of affiliation. The NHICC is completely independent and will offer the same values and rigor required for certification and accreditation as specified by the National Initiative, minus the provincial association influence. The NHICC is not an association of members, but rather a true certification entity with "registrants" that value independent third-party certification, and accountability to consumers. Currently the National Home Inspector - Canada (NHI) designation is recognized in the British Columbia & Alberta for home inspector licensing/ consumer protection regulations. The NHICC has administrative contracts with ANIEB & PHPIC regarding certification. All applications are reviewed by the National Admissions Board. Registrant members are obliged to comply with the Standards of Practice & Code of Ethics. Complaints against registrants are reviewed by the Professional Practices Committee. Exams and field testing is delegated to a cadre of trained and highly experienced NHI Examiners. 2010 - ICE (Institute of Credentialing Excellence) 2013 - DACUM review for the National Occupational Standards for Home & Property Inspectors 2018 - Foreign Agricultural Worker Housing report (National Housing Standard)
