To formally become a mold remediation specialist, you must be certified as a mold remediator through a training program or organization, such as the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors or the International Indoor Air Quality Commission. Mold remediation specialists typically complete a 24-hour course and pass an exam to become certified.
According to the International Indoor Air Quality Commission, “If you want a successful career as a mold remediation specialist, you are encouraged to obtain a mold remediation certification…. The requirements will all depend on where you live and where you plan to work.” Because mold affects the health and well-being of a person’s family or employees, customers may likely prefer to work with a certified mold remediation specialist.
- Search for websites of organizations or training programs that offer a certification course for mold remediation, such as the Best Training School website. (See Resources.)
- Locate the “Courses” tab on each website and view the relevant course, which is usually labeled something like “Certified Mold Remediator.”
- Compare and contrast the different courses you find, and decide which one best meets your educational interests and career goals. Be sure the course you choose includes training for where you want to work, such as residential, commercial or industrial properties.
- Determine if you prefer an on-site, online or home study course, and register through the organization’s or training program’s website. Your decision should be based on your educational requirements and preferred learning method.
- When registered, attend and participate in all classes and hands-on training for the course you chose.
- Pass the certification exam to the satisfaction of the organization or training program to complete the certification process.
