The Mold Remediation Technician (MRT) and Mold Remediation Supervisor (MRS) courses are the RIA approved pre-requisite courses for those pursuing their advanced certification, the Certified Mold Professional (CMP). Those pursuing advanced certifications are encouraged to obtain detailed information on the RIA certification of interest to them, including the certification process and specific Applications for Candidacy.

• Technician course consists of three days of training focused on teaching individuals how to set up various mold remediation projects and how to accomplish the specific removal and cleaning tasks associated with such projects. The course includes classroom discussion and hands-on activities. The Fungal Contamination textbook is included in the class registration.
• Continuing education credits: RIA-3; IICRC-1 mold, 2 cleaning/restoration; NADCA-4 credits

• This 2-day course focuses on why we choose certain variations of the requirements for various projects and when we do them. The focus is the project supervisor who must have skills in choosing from a variety of techniques and requirements to best suit a particular project. The course draws heavily on case studies and thinking exercises as well as group dynamics and integration of cost factors into mold remediation. The heaviest emphasis is on risk assessment, selection of containment and decontamination unit options, communication of information to technicians and clients, and a deeper understanding of the various standards of care in the industry. The Mold Remediation Technician course is a prerequisite.
• Continuing education credits: RIA-2; IICRC-1 mold, 2 cleaning/restoration; NADCA-4 credits

• This 3-day advanced course focuses on identifying what is impacting the interior of a building and which general cleaning approaches would be appropriate for improving the indoor environment.
• Continuing education credits: RIA-3; IICRC-1 mold, 2 cleaning/restoration; NADCA-4 credits
• RIA 2011 CMP Application for Candidacy

• Fungal remediation practices and guidelines have changed dramatically in the past year. This one day mold refresher course is designed to provide remediators, consultants, inspectors, and property managers with the latest information on:
• Standards and guidelines promulgated at the national and state levels
• Health effects and potential connection between mold and illnesses
• Engineering controls to improve efficiency when isolating and removing mold contamination
• Efficient methods for dealing with complex remediation problems such as crawlspaces, vaulted ceilings, contents, etc.
• Pro-active management of the project through quality control efforts including post-remediation evaluation techniques
• This lively course also is structured to allow the students' experience with difficult projects to serve as a launching point for the discussions and hands-on exercises.

• If individuals are focusing on inspecting and managing mold projects rather than conducting the actual remediation, the Mold Inspection for the Indoor Environment Professional course is the initial training. The focus of this two-day course is on procedures for site investigation, development of sampling schemes, identification and quantification of visible and hidden mold, evaluation of set-up and engineering controls, and post-remediation evaluation protocol.
