Licensing I believe is not a bad idea, In some respects it will weed out the wannbes' as well as putting the profession on a level playing field. Creating a standard to which all inspectors must meet. Perhaps I do not have room to speak since I am a "licensed" newbie to this profession. Re: ASHI, If I may make an example, 15+ years ago the automotive industry could not produce a car that could not last over 100K miles without major reapirs, the introduction of ISO/QS9000 as put vendors of the automotive industry on a level playing field by standardizing the methodology of manufacturing quality to the auto makers also weeding out the nonperformers. I feel that ASHI is the up and coming "ISO/QS" of the HI profession. I feel that with licensing and standardization of the profession we can all benifit in many ways, the nonperformers will drop out leaving the true professionals to groom and grow the business to a recognized standard. Think about it how many of you guys/gals are now driving or have driven vehicles with well over 100k miles? Perhaps being a newbie I have much to learn and I'm sure some ppl out there will let me know it. This is my opnion.
