The NORMI Certified Protocol Writer (CPW) has been trained as an Assessor and understands the remediation concepts that support the IICRC S5200, IICRC S520, NYC Guildelines, and EPA Standards. Based on the NORMI Proctored Examination, this experienced and well-trained professional develops a protocol that follows industry standards and supports the NORMI Certificate of Sanitization program, assuring the client that the project will be done correctly and according to General Accepted Industry Standards. The CPW develops a Scope of Work that protects the Remediator from down-side litigation and the homeowner from the recurrence of mold infestation.

What you'll learn...

"Assessors are trained in the inspection or assessment process, how to interpret lab reports, sanitization and remediation techniques. Some have actually been trained in the remediation process by doning PPE, establishing containment and creating negative pressure in hands-on classes. However, we have learned that there is a significant gap between the assessment process and the remediation process that can only be filled by the assessor-the writing of the Mold Remediation Protocol. Insurance adjusters and Remediators expect the Assessor to assume liability for a well-written protocol so the Remediator can focus on PRV (post remediation verification). This class provides that training and bridges the gap between the inspection process and the remediation project." D. Douglas Hoffman, Executive Director of NORMI

Why this class is so practical...

"A poorly written protocol can increase project costs for the client and create liability for the contractor. Understanding how to fit the IICRC, NY City Guidelines and NORMI Standards into a properly written gives confidence to the Remediator, client and insurance adjustor." Lance Eisen, State of Florida Certified Mold Assessor

This class is designed to cover what is needed to write and effective, easy-to-understand protocol following accepted standards and covers:

• Understand how to interpret and clearly explain laboratory reports,
• Identify the specific location of remediation areas,
• Estimate quantities of materials to be cleaned or removed,
• Suggest remediation methods appropriate for the type of contamination,
• Clarify PPE requirements specific to the project,
• Identify proposed containment that should be used for each are of contamination,
• Clarify need for discovery of moisture source and remedy,
• Possibly suggest rebuild techniques to establish long-term solution,
• Overlay NORMI Certificate of Sanitization protocol to Generally Accepted Standards,
• Establish Clearance Criteria for PRV (Post Remediation Verification)

What you will receive...

In our effort to remain "green" CPWs who attend this class will be given a copy of the Powerpoint slides in a spiral binder (for taking notes) and a CD filled with information and documentation to support the training. All documents on this CD are prepared as .pdf files so they can be printed, if desired. With the class, the student will have the opportunity to certify with a national certifying agency (additional charges would apply) and have the opportunity establish a membership relationship with NORMI, the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors.

Who should take this class...

• Entrepreneurs who want to begin a mold business
• Home Inspectors who need to know how to write protocol for insurance adjusters
• Mold Professionals who need to better understand protocol writing
• Licensed Mold Assessors who need to write mold remediation protocols
• Licensed Mold Remediators who want to better understand the Generally Accepted Practices
