NORMI Offers Mold Courses in Spanish

ABITA SPRINGS, La.—July 23, 2020—The National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI) is offering a complete lineup of onsite mold assessment and remediation courses in Spanish at the NORMIPro Academy in Sunrise, Florida during the last week in July. The mold courses will be taught by a bilingual senior trainer, Alvaro “Moe” Zuluaga.

“The Hispanic community has had a huge impact on the mold profession and many of our best technicians speak Spanish. To have a NORMI Senior Trainer as talented as Alvaro ‘Moe’ Zuluaga, who is also bilingual, gives us the opportunity to present the mold licensing class to professionals who have, in the past, been largely ignored,” explains Doug Hoffman, the executive director of NORMI.  “NORMI is proud to have taken on this challenge which has already proven to be successful.”

Attendees have the opportunity to provide feedback after completion of courses. One student reported, “Moe’s class was very informative. His years of experience truly add a fountain of knowledge to the subject.” Another attendee shared, “Moe is a wealth of knowledge and a great asset to the industry!”
