HUD is currently in the process of phasing out HQS inspection protocols and implementing NSPIRE. NAHRO recommends that you pursue the Certified Specialist of Inspection – Voucher Operations (CSI-VO) instead, so you are prepared for the implementation of NSPIRE-V. 

If you want to still attain the CSI-HQS certification, you will need to have previously completed HQS training or have the years of expeirence to waive training - NAHRO is no longer offering HQS inspection training. The HQS exam is still currently available, but will be phased out in the future. 
Below are the requirements to recertify. These may be completed in any order. Please be sure to submit a complete and accurate application.
