Certified Indoor Environmental Remediator
The industry’s premier mold remediation course is now available to the public. Designed for our internal training, we’ve decide to release our flagship mold remediation technician course.
Real world training.
Look around the internet, you’ll find plenty of mold remediation courses. Why offer yet another training program? Because Environix takes a very different approach. Unlike the other schools, we don’t train you just to pass a test. We train you to learn to think like a professional mold remediator, not just memorize a bunch of facts. We can pull this off because from our owner to the training assistant, everyone here has spent years in the field as a mold remediation tech.
