NORMI, the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors, conducted its first Virginia Mold Licensing class in Alexandria last week between an earthquake and impending Hurricane Irene. The successful training provided three days of mold training for professionals who were interested in being trained as Mold Inspectors and Mold Remediator Supervisors which include a curriculum sponsored by NORMI, a Virginia Board-Approved training provider. This training included 24 hours of training centered on the techniques of assessment and remediation including hands-on training, lectures, and the specifics of mold, its helath effects and mold management for removal.
“We started the week with a thundering earthquake and finished with flight to prepare for the impending hurricane,” reported Doug Hoffman, Executive Director of NORMI. “Amidst the excitement we provided excellent mold training from four highly experienced and dedicated trainers who converged on Alexandra, PA from Florida, South Carolina, New Jersey and Louisiana. All in all we were impressed with the dedication and commitment of these mold professionals who came and stayed for the express purpose of getting the training they need to comply with the Virginia Mold Licensing law. We will be in Pennsylvania next week and anticipate another great group of guys who want to learn better how to practice their craft.”
For more information on classes designed specifically to meet the Virginia Mold Licensing Law contact Best Training School at 888.856.4803 or view the easy-to-understand mold training video for more information. Classes are being conducted in Virginia and other states. The next class will be held in Pennsylvania, PA at the Schapers Supply store. For information on NORMI, contact 877.251.2296 or email support@normi.org. Facilities Maintenance Directors, Home Inspectors, General Contractors and other professionals who deal with toxic mold removal should consider taking this course to understand the correct standards that should be utilized to remove toxic mold from indoor environments.

NORMI, the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors, announced today that mold classes have been scheduled in Pennsylvania to meet the new Commonwealth of Virginia DPOR Mold Licensing Law and give Pennsylvania mold professionals the training and credibility they need to succeed in the marketplace. The classes will be held at Schaper’s Supply in Philadelphia, PA on 09/27-29/11 and include the 16 hour Mold Worker, 24 hour Mold Remediator Supervisor and 24 hour Mold Inspector courses. Each course offers a proctored examination at the end of the final day and provides the needed paperwork to secure Virginia licensing. NORMI was approved in July as a training provider for the Virginia Mold Licensing law as well as Louisiana and Florida and is scheduling classes throughout the eastern seaboard to meet these licensing requirements.
“We are excited to be able to offer a regional training in Pennsylvania,” said Doug Hoffman, CEO of NORMI. “Training is essential for mold professionals who want to do it right and the public will be protected when they hire a NORMI pro! Our goal is to train as many professionals who want to enter this industry or expand their knowledge to include a better understanding of the IICRC, NYC Guidelines and EPA standards. This is a great opportunity for all mold professionals who want to perfect their craft!”
Classes are listed at www.BestTrainingSchool.com where students can register with a small down payment or call 888.856.4803 to register by phone. A fax registration is also available at the online registration website. For more information about NORMI, contact 877.251.2296 or email support@normi.org

NORMI, the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors has introduced the first of its kind, proctored interview exam for those interested in becoming certified as a Mold Assessor (CMA) or Mold Remediator (CMR). Managed by the NORMI Standards and Compliance Division, the two-part examination/interview process now guarantees that the applicant has a clear understanding of the work he intends to perform as an assessor, investigator, or remediator in the mold industry.
“We have always taken our examination processes seriously and tried to develop a way to insure that those who are working in the mold industry truly understand the problems with which they are dealing and the potential downside litigation that exists when they fail to do it right,” commented Doug Hoffman, Executive Director of NORMI. “This interview process provides a one-on-one opportunity for Joe Lombardi, our Director of Compliance and Standards Division to discuss with the applicant any questions they answered incorrectly and talk about how they intend to build a solid business, keep their insurance current, understand the re-certification process, and meet the current applicable licensing laws. It’s a terrific way to be sure the public is protected from incompetent work.”
Effective immediately, the new proctored interview becomes a part of the Mold Assessor/Investigator and Mold Remediation certifications and the NORMI Board of Directors anticipates expanding this program to all certifications after January 1, 2010.
In addition, those willing the challenge the NORMI Proctored Examination without having taken an associated course may do so by contacting the NORMI Standards and Compliance Division and scheduling, in advance, a seat at the next location. This affords an opportunity for those wishing to be accredited by NORMI to begin the process of becoming certified after they have met the educational/experience requirement, insurance requirements, and paid the associated certification fee(s).
Lance Eisen, NORMI Chief of Operations, responded, “With mold licensing laws now in place in the States of Maryland, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida it becomes more important than ever to separate the trained from the untrained. This proctored examination/interview program takes our certifications to a new level. Never before has the industry required this kind of scrutiny and we are proud to separate ourselves out as a leader in the mold industry, an industry that has been fraught with fraud and misinformation. The public can be sure that when they hire a NORMI Certified Mold Assessor or NORMI Certified Mold Remediator, they are hiring someone who knows what they are doing.”
