Do I need a degree in science or a construction background in order to understand the material and laboratory results?
No. As a Certified Mold Inspector your goal is to professionally determine the extent, if any, of the existence of unhealthy levels of mold in a residential or commercial building. Although any knowledge of science or construction would be helpful, your job is to gather samples, determine sources of moisture intrusion, and let the lab evaluate the level of contamination. Common sense, conscientious study of our course materials, and a general understanding of construction principles will help you achieve success.
