Building Contaminant Technician (Mold Remediator)

Course Overview

mold-4348687Our CI® Building Contaminant Technician program was developed to provide advanced training to understand not just the “cause and effects” of building contaminants, but the knowledge and skills to competently inspect and identify air pollutants, bacteria and mold contamination. Originally, this course was to instruct students in order to ‘grandfather’ into the state mold licenses without testing. That opportunity has now closed – you must meet state eligibility requirements and take a state exam to get the Mold Remediator license now. Click here for information about the licenses.
