I used all NACHI classes for mine also.
Same here but I threw in a 10hr OSHA course just in case.
Congrats Nick, now if I wanted to refer your firm for a mold assessment what would the approximate fee be?
Free, but you should ask me about my mileage fee. LOL!
Use your personal car, you’ll get 50 cents a mile it’s a hell of a write off.
The same STEPS it takes to get CERTIFIED in a certain subject, can also be the exact same STEPS it takes to qualify for a LICENSE.
One person says I am certified and the other says I am licensed. Both can charge low-ball prices and be corrupt. Certifications and licensing cannot stop immoral behavior.
Example
InterNACHI qualifications are GOOD. If they became the LAW for a LICENSE, why would they now be BAD?
You guys need to answer me on this. Certifications, Licensing and Training are not the problem.
It makes no sense. Can you hear yourself?
You, Roy and George Luck should form your own state or other jurisdiction where no licenses exist…so you can be anything you want- doctor, lawyer, accountant, mechanic, electrician- by simply saying your are one!!
If you set the bar high enough, licensing will begin to mean something and give some assurance to the public that they at least have some one with good training and sufficient experience for their HI. They will still have to determine the “quality” of the HI they decide to hire, the same with doctors, etc!!
WOW![size=2]How did I get dragged into this . [/size]

The home Inspection profession is far too important to be turned over to government clerks who are clueless and care little about what it is we do.
Someone once said “Licensing solves nothing” here in Florida we discovered licensing helps close budget gaps. :roll:
I disagree with you. We are talking doing mold assesment/inspection that is not difficult if you live in Florida. If you have a building in Florida -you have mold- the only questions are, how much and which type. The licensing process here is far from perfect but is a step in the right direction. It will evolve the way Division 1 evolved.
I have no problem with people getting a license-it is up to me and others to educate the public on how to interpret the education and experience of that entity.
We need to stay involved with the state as this process developes. It would be interesting to know how the state came up with 120 hours of instruction for the Initial Licensure requirement. This is a tad long in my opinion. I would have liked to see a larger C.E. requirement per renewal period as this industry is such an evolving discipline.
Sorry for the long commentary, Bill Smith
I disagree.
Unsuspecting consumers in Florida will reasonably … but errantly … conclude that the holder of a Mold Inspection License in Florida has been screened and declared competent and skilled by the State of Florida.
As we all know … this is simply not true.
This license is a misleading and dangerous sham that can result in serious illness or death to the uniformed citizen with a severe immunity deficiency who is depending upon it as a “credential” to contract for a mold inspection.
I guarantee you that no one being fooled by it would ever consider such a worthless document as a “step in the right direction”. They would, if they had the facts, consider it as a fraud perpetrated upon them.
Never happened to you before? HOW ODD!! JUST RETURNING THE FAVOUR…
Aren’t you 3 very anti-legislation…just grouped you together in a post about the HI business and you get overly excited…take a pill!! At least I’m not casting negative innuendos around about your demeanour towards your family and friends…you creep!!
Now I find this cute here we have a parasite who runs down NICK ,NACHI and many NACHI members .
He who has from what I see a serious health problem that needs to be examined.
. He calls me a creep , looks like he is confirming his health problem . Please Brian Go and get checked I expect they can help you very quickly . Of Course you need to let them know you want help .
All the best … Roy
I think someone is confused. The experience requirement is the key for a mold assessor license. Many assessors that were grandfathered in would not meet the requirements today. (must pass CIE or CIEC or CMC exam not a proctored test no one fails) Unlike home inspectors new mold assessors will need experience.
