Program Summary:
The Council-certified Residential Mold Inspector (CRMI) investigates microbial issues in the indoor environment. For example, a CRMI performs mold inspection, mold testing and bioaerosol sampling. A CRMI interprets lab results and design an effective remediation protocol. Finally, these professionals perform post-remediation sampling to verify the success of a remediation project.
CRMIs possess verified knowledge in disciplines related to mold inspection, microbial investigations and sampling. The certification examinations cover a wide range of bioaerosols and their potential health effects. They also deal with microbial sampling procedures and equipment.
To earn the Council-certified Residential Mold Inspector (CRMI) designation, candidates must:
