NORMIPro™ MOLD Track

Active NORMI™ Members (Join.NORMI.org) who wish to build a mold business.

Assessor Track (Which class should I take next?)

NORMI™ CMA (Certified IAQ/Mold Assessors), IAQ Specialist, Home Inspectors, CIEs (Certified Indoor Environmentalist) and other professionals who assess indoor environments for mold, and other microbials, to determine the causes and conditions that proliferate mold in indoor environments and then write protocols for sanitization or remediation, should pursue this track toward a successful career. We suggest you print this and keep track of the classes you’ve taken as your pursue excellence in your career.

IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the most effective ways to stay connected to the industry and keep your certification(s) current is by attending CE Training each Tuesday night (48x a year). Don’t neglect this important investment.
