Build the technical judgment to investigate moisture, control contamination, design effective containment, and manage complex mold remediation projects.
A live, instructor-led training program for restoration professionals ready to move beyond basic mold removal and take on more complex residential, commercial, and institutional remediation projects.
Mold remediation is where good contractors get destroyed in disputes because "we've always done it this way" is not a defense. This session shows you how to apply the scientific method to assessment, protocol, and clearance so your work is articulated like an expert's and armored against challenge.

Effective remediation starts with understanding the conditions behind microbial growth.
Basic mold training teaches removal procedures. Advanced Mold focuses on the technical decisions that determine whether remediation actually addresses the problem.
You'll learn how moisture, microbial growth, containment, air management, safety, and verification work together when a project becomes more complicated.
Advanced Mold is a live, instructor-led program covering the science and decision-making behind professional mold remediation.
You'll work through:
Microbial science and mold growth
Moisture investigation and root cause analysis
Containment design
PPE and worker safety
Removal and remediation practices
HEPA and AFD systems
IAQ testing and interpretation
Regulatory frameworks and compliance
Post-remediation verification
Commercial and institutional remediation
Legal, liability, and real-world case studies
The Goal
Build the technical knowledge to assess the problem, control the work, and make better remediation decisions.
By the end of the training, you'll be better prepared to:
Develop a stronger understanding of mold biology and the environmental conditions that support microbial growth.
Learn how to identify contributing moisture conditions so remediation addresses the cause, not only visible growth.
Understand containment principles that help control cross-contamination and protect occupied areas.
Build knowledge of PPE, work-practice controls, and safety considerations relevant to mold remediation.
Understand HEPA filtration, AFD systems, and IAQ assessment so you can make better air-management decisions.
Understand post-remediation verification principles, documentation, and the factors used to evaluate remediation objectives.
Advanced Mold is designed for restoration professionals who already understand basic mold removal and want deeper technical expertise.
