NORMI announces Fall-Winter Class Schedule

ABITA SPRINGS, La.—September 25, 2020—The National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI) has released the NORMI class schedule through the end of the year. NORMI recently began simulcasting most onsite classes, so courses can be taken onsite, live online, and online in a self-study capacity. Training includes classroom instruction as well as a hands-on component. Courses are available in both English and Spanish (onsite only). See the complete summary of upcoming classes below.

NORMI is an approved training provider in all states that require mold licensing and re-certification: Florida, Louisiana, Texas, New York, and Washington, D.C. In non-mold licensing states, NORMI certifications enable indoor air quality (IAQ) professionals to verify to consumers they have completed the appropriate industry training to be properly trained in mold assessment, mold remediation, mold guidelines and standards of practice, sanitizing and/or other IAQ subspecialties.

In addition to professional IAQ training and certifying services, NORMI providers weekly ongoing support for members as well as bulk purchasing benefits to reduce the cost of equipment and supplies. If you have specific questions about courses or licensing requirements of the state in which you work, contact NORMI directly at [email protected] or 877.251.2276.  For details on all class offerings, visit events.normi.org.
