The NCMP™/NCRSI™ combined certification course represents the highest level of training available in the microbial remediation and indoor environmental intervention industry. This advanced program integrates the principles of the NORMI Certified Microbial Professional (NCMP) designation with the specialized protocols taught in the NORMI Certified Remediator for Sensitized Individuals (NCRSI) course.
This course prepares experienced mold and indoor environmental professionals to address complex remediation scenarios where traditional industry methods may not be sufficient— particularly in environments where occupants are sensitized to mold, chemicals, or environmental contaminants.
The sensitized individual is often a client who cannot tolerate traditional assessment or remediation methods and therefore requires a professional who understands how to implement advanced processes, chemistries, and techniques designed to achieve a safer, cleaner, and healthier indoor environment.
The integrated NCMP/NCRSI course builds on the foundation of standard mold remediation training by introducing health-centered remediation protocols, advanced containment strategies, precision cleaning procedures, and indoor environmental controls designed specifically for sensitive or high-risk occupants.
The course incorporates the “Medically-sound Level 4 Protocol™”, developed in collaboration with the NORMI Medical Advisory Board and aligns remediation practices with medically informed environmental intervention strategies.
Certification and Professional Advancement
Students who successfully complete the course may pursue two related professional designations:
NCMP™ – NORMI Certified Microbial Professional
The NCMP designation represents one of the highest professional credentials in the mold remediation industry. In addition to completing the course, candidates must complete and submit an approved capstone project demonstrating their ability to successfully apply the course methodologies to real-world remediation projects.
NCRSI™ – NORMI Certified Remediator for Sensitized Individuals
This credential demonstrates that the professional understands and can implement remediation protocols specifically designed for environments where occupants are highly sensitive to mold and environmental contaminants. Certification requires successful completion of a proctored examination following the course.
Continuing Education and Professional Recognition
This advanced course qualifies for NORMI CEUs, which are required to maintain certification, and may qualify for CEUs from other organizations, municipalities, or states. The course is the basis for use by the professional of the trademarked NORMIPro™ designation and allows the professional to use other licensed trademarks provided through the service provider network.

This training is offered in an onsite and live online simulcast format, allowing students to participate in the interactive instruction and hands-on learning components.
Industry Significance
The NCMP/NCRSI combined training was developed to address a growing need within the indoor environmental industry: remediation that protects not only the structure but also the health of the occupants—especially those who have become environmentally sensitized.
By completing this program, professionals gain the knowledge and credentials necessary to provide advanced remediation services that meet the highest standards of care in the microbial remediation industry.
Through our Medical Advisory Board, we have learned that the current medical data explains that the percentage of the population with a genetic predisposition to mild mold sensitivity is nearly 20+%. Of that group, 1-3% can develop a much more severe sensitivity to mold exposure. Often the trigger to real health problems is a poor mold remediation project. Once the sensitization has occurred the first step in assisting the ill individual is to stop dismissing their concerns as bogus. This class is for assessors and contractors who want to understand the specific steps necessary to evaluate and correct mold problems that are problematic for these sensitized individuals.
The NCMP/NCRSI™ class is offered through NORMI with the primary instruction provided by Michael Pinto, Senior Trainer. The combo certification course means that the certifications provided to successful class participants meets the qualifications of the State of Florida for continuing education credits for both mold assessors and remediators and carries the third-party credibility of a nationally recognized not-for-profit trade association, NORMI.

LIVE ONLINE COURSES
The NCMP/NCRSI program is typically delivered as a three-day advanced assessor/remediator training designed for experienced professionals seeking the highest level of competency in microbial remediation and indoor environmental management.
Training topics include:
- Advanced microbial remediation protocols
- Remediation strategies for sensitized or medically vulnerable occupants
- Containment and cross-contamination control
- Advanced cleaning methodologies and environmental controls
- Selection and use of appropriate remediation chemistries and technologies
- Health-based remediation decision making
- Documentation and project verification procedures
- Integration of IAQ management principles into remediation projects
The program emphasizes practical implementation of remediation protocols that go beyond typical industry standards, ensuring the professional can deliver a remediation outcome that is acceptable even for highly sensitive occupants.
Upon successful completion of the NCMP/NCRSI™ Advanced Microbial Remediation for Sensitized Individuals course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the health implications of microbial contamination and the unique environmental needs of sensitized individuals affected by mold and environmental contaminants.
- Identify and evaluate microbial contamination conditions within residential and commercial structures and determine appropriate remediation strategies based on building science principles
- Develop remediation plans that incorporate advanced containment, cleaning, and environmental control procedures designed to minimize cross-contamination and occupant exposure
- Apply specialized remediation protocols developed for environments where occupants demonstrate heightened sensitivities to mold, chemicals, and other environmental triggers.
- Demonstrate proper containment and engineering control techniques used to isolate contaminated areas and prevent the spread of microbial particulates during remediation activities.
- Evaluate and select appropriate remediation chemistries and technologies while considering safety, occupant sensitivities, and environmental effectiveness.
- Implement precision cleaning methodologies designed to remove microbial contaminants from structural surfaces, contents, and indoor air environments.
- . Interpret post-remediation verification requirements and determine appropriate documentation procedures to confirm successful remediation outcomes
- Integrate medically informed environmental intervention strategies into remediation planning based on guidance from the NORMI Medical Advisory Board.
- Apply professional ethics and industry best practices when working with clients experiencing environmentally related health concerns.
