Mold Certification is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
and many other state and local regulatory agencies. There are several different mold classes available to help you comply with the regulations in your location. Each type of training is targeted to the type of work you are performing including mold remediation, inspection and abatement. If you are planning to do work that impacts strict mold requirements, you must identify the type of training and certification required in your area. It is important to be fully trained and certified prior to beginning work. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements can result in thousands in fines and potential loss of business.

It is always important to know and understand the specific requirements in the area where you are doing your work. Certification is required for all kinds of work activity. This includes a professional performing a mold inspection, a contractor conducting mold abatement, or a restoration company doing mold remediation. Please remember that you must receive your certification prior to beginning work. Many mold certificates expire. It is important to keep your certification current to maintain regulatory compliance. Attend a renewal early to retain valid certification.
How do I get Mold Certification?
- Register for the mold certification class that is required for your work activity.

It’s that easy. Once you receive your certificate, you may need to apply to the regulatory agency governing a mold specialist in your area.
