Mold-Related Services Examinations

Any person desiring to obtain a license as a mold assessor or remediator must pass one of the written examinations approved by the department. Mold-related services examinations are provided by nationally recognized entities and are not administered by the department. Examinations must be proctored.

The mold assessment examination covers the physical sampling and detailed evaluation of data obtained from a building history and inspection to formulate an initial hypothesis about the origin, identity, location, and extent of amplification of mold growth greater than 10 square feet. The mold remediator examination covers the removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, or other treatment, including preventive activities, of mold or mold-contaminated matter greater than 10 square feet.
