See details at bottom of this page: Residential Mold Inspector Commercial Mold Inspection Mold Remediation Certification Mold Remediation Protocols Infrared Moisture Survey From FL web site: 61-31.504 Continuing Education Requirements for Biennial Renewal (1) Prior to the expiration of each biennial licensure period, and as a condition for renewal of the mold assessor and/or mold remediator license, each person licensed pursuant to Chapter 468, Part XVI, Florida Statutes, shall complete a minimum of fourteen (14) hours of continuing education which shall include, at a minimum, all of the following subjects as they relate to the practice of mold assessment and/or mold remediation: (a) A minimum of six (6) hours of instruction regarding water (moisture intrusion), (b) A minimum of four (4) hours of instruction regarding mold and mold safety, to include respiratory protection, (c) A minimum of two (2) hours of instruction regarding report writing, (d) A minimum of two (2) hours of instruction regarding standards of practice. We are not approved for Initial Mold training in FL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A person desiring to be licensed as a mold assessor or mold remediator must apply to the department after satisfying the examination requirements of this part. 1. Passes the required examination 2. Is of good moral character 3. Completes one of the following requirements: Option 1: A 2-year associate of arts degree, or the equivalent, with at least 30 semester hours in microbiology, engineering, architecture, industrial hygiene, occupational safety, or a related field of science from an accredited institution and a minimum of 1 year of documented field experience; or Option 2: A high school diploma or the equivalent with a minimum of 4 years of documented field experience __________________________________________________________________ We are registered for both the Council-certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) and the Council-certified Microbial Consultant (CMC). Both are accepted for a Florida Mold Assessor license and are equally valid for licensing. I would not recommend that any new student take the CMC unless they have at least three years of experience because the CMC is a longer and harder test. Taking the CIE instead of the CMC should be a no-brainer for newbies. Also, the required reading list for the CIE is pamphlet-sized compared to the encyclopedic list for the CMC. I think what scares students away from the CIE is that it covers additional environmental hazards including asbestos and lead. I would recommend that new Florida students take our Environmental Hazards course and the Remediation Protocols course first before taking the CIE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- State Office: Division of Professions Mold-Related Services Licensing Program 1940 North Monroe Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-0783 Phone: 850.487.1395 Website: http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/pro/mold/Other Inspection Requirements for FL:
