Success

Mold inspection is a specialized practice that extends beyond a general home inspection. This Mold Inspection Certification Training Course defines industry best practices for professional mold inspections. Learners gain the skills needed to identify, document, and assess potential mold growth. Training emphasizes structured visual inspections and proper mold sampling techniques.

This Mold Remediator Inspection Training explains the science, characteristics, and causes of indoor mold growth. Learners identify moisture intrusion and building conditions that promote mold development. The training addresses health risks and structural damage associated with mold exposure. Participants learn inspection and testing procedures before and after remediation.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not regulate indoor mold or airborne mold spores. No federal or state threshold limits exist for interpreting mold sampling results. Federal and state laws do not mandate specific mold sampling procedures. This training explains how inspectors operate within these regulatory limitations.

However, the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants (IAC2) has developed a set of accepted and best practices in the industry based on research. Compiled into the IAC2 Mold Inspection Standards of Practice, this guides and directs mold inspection procedures considering the health and safety of both building occupants and the personnel conducting the mold inspections.
