CAHPI has announced a significant restructuring of the National Certification Program for Canadian home inspectors, as follows:

• Effective immediately, the NCA, which administers the NCP and is owned by CAHPI, will be absorbed and managed by a new CAHPI standing committee.

• The provincial or regional chapters of CAHPI will maintain all national certificates until the certificates expire in 2011. 

• Action will be taken to communicate with national certificate holders and candidates to advise them of these developments.

• As well, CAHPI policy regulating use of the national certificate holder designation will be amended in order to avoid confusion with the ‘Registered Home Inspector' (RHI) and ‘Associate' designations of the CAHPI provincial or regional bodies.
