NIC ASHI is dedicated to enhancing the technical skills and professional practice of home inspectors, and maintaining high professional standards through education and discipline. This is accomplished through various means such as:

monthly meetings every 2nd Wednesday of the month, that continually bring topics that either enlighten or reinforce a home inspectors’ knowledge
mentor programs and ride-a-long inspections that provide guidance to new inspectors.
