February 5, 2003—The National Association of Mold Professionals (NAMP) is now offering comprehensive mold inspection and remediation certification classes. The NAMP has decided to provide an extensive two-day certification program due to the increasing percentage of adverse health-related problems caused from mold exposure, and the shortage of trained professionals in the mold inspection, testing, and cleanup industries. The course is held once a month in Detroit, MI.
Course topics include:
- Mold issues and health-related problems caused from mold exposure,
- Hands-on instructions with sampling equipment for mold testing,
- Sampling strategies and protocols. Special sampling processes including testing for hidden mold inside walls, above ceilings, beneath floors, and inside heating and air conditioning equipment and ducts,
- Report interpretation, generation, and data management,
- Proper and safe techniques for mold removal and remediation,
- Recommended locations to purchase mold inspection and remediation, equipment and supplies.
NAMP provides ongoing activities designed to educate the public, and to support certified mold inspections as a perfunctory part of real estate transactions, after structures have been damaged by water.
