How Long Will My PCI Distance Training Take Me To Complete?

You want to improve your career and earnings by entering into the lucrative environmental mold inspection, environmental mold remediation, and/or environmental hygiene professions, but how can you fit schooling and training into your busy life? The answer is distance training from the Professional Certification Institute. Working around your current schedule and commitments, you can start and finish one to three PCI certification courses simultaneously in approximately 60 to 100 hours of intensive home study at your own schedule and pace. Read the very thorough mold training course content.  If you are doing your training and certification via home study, the written test will be emailed to you after you inform PCI that you are ready to take the certification test.

The Professional Certification Institute distance learning program provides you with complete, practical, state-of-the-art, ONLINE training plus offline resources for in depth mold training and environmental hygienist education and training so that you can earn a high income as a self-employed environmental professional. A Certified Mold Inspector concentrates his or her inspection and testing of a home or other building on discovering and documenting mold infestation, including mold growth hidden INSIDE ceilings, walls, floors, crawl spaces, attics, basements, and heating/cooling ducts and equipment. A Certified Mold Remediator removes mold infestations from homes and other buildings. A Certified Environmental Hygienist investigates a home or building for mold plus many other environmental health risks such as microbiological contamination. Read the Hygienist Course Curriculum. Students master their environmental educational courses by online and computer-based study in the two password-protected websites: Mold Knowledge (mold inspection, testing, remediation, and prevention), Environmental Hygienist, plus the five PCI mold training ebooks written by mold expert Phillip Fry. Students also have the unlimited email assistance of PCI Instructor Phillip Fry to answer any student questions. Read the very thorough mold training course content.

“It is my pleasure to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful job you did during the seminars on mold inspection and remediation. The way you conduct your lecture and presentation is a real art and each word (e.g., contract, inspect, look, test, contain, kill, remove, protect, prevent) and printed handout is a lecture by itself. I have no doubt that you have opened a new era for me in the mold testing field.”--- Saifeldin El-Nagerabi, Ph.D in mycology (science of mold) and a professor of mycology at a Canadian University. Dr. El-Nagerabi, now a Certified Mold Inspector, attended Mr. Fry’s 2 day mold seminar in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, June 16-17, 2007.

Where Can I Use My Professional Designation Certifications?

Read about the Big Shortage of Canadian Environmental Workers. The Certified Mold Inspector and Certified Mold Remediator professional designation certifications can be used anywhere in the world except the State of Texas, wherein you would need to attend a Texas-licensed mold training school that is physically located in Texas. Because PCI teaches only online and is not located physically in Texas, PCI cannot provide you with mold professional certifications for use in Texas.
 

The Certified Environmental Hygienist professional designation certification can be used anywhere in the world, including Texas, but you would not be able to use the C.E.H. designation in Texas to do mold inspection, testing, and remediation unless you have also become Texas-trained and licensed to provide mold services.
 

Please note that you will need to obtain a city or state/provincial business license in most cities in the USA, Canada, and elsewhere in the world to do any kind of business activity including mold inspection, mold testing, mold remediation, and environmental hygiene. If your business will be home-based (and if local zoning does not permit home-based businesses), you may need to rent a private, local business mail box street address from a company like Mail Boxes Etc. to obtain your local business license, or operate your business in an owned or rented business property.
 

If your business activities will include any structural work or repairs (such as plumbing repairs after you locate a water leak), you will probably need to obtain the appropriate contractor license or work in conjunction with licensed professionals such as a plumber or construction contractor. For contractor licensing requirements, check with your local or state building department, contractor licensing agency, or building inspector.
 

The Wall Street Journal [Aug., 2002] article reported the mold inspector and mold remediator profession as one of the hot job opportunities in today's tight job market. The Journal reported:

"An instructor at the Certified Mold Inspectors and Contractors Institute [now known as Professional Certification Institute], says that opportunities for 'certified mold inspectors' and 'certified mold remediators' are 'steadily growing' across the country. Inspectors can earn as much as $100,000 annually while remediators who rip out mold- infested areas can take home much more." Read about the Big Shortage of Canadian Environmental Workers

 

Website Posting of Members in Good Standing

Each Ecology College certificated graduate benefits from having his or her name and his or her individual certification categories (such as Certified Certified Mold Inspector and Certified Mold Remediator) published FREE as the PCI certified member in good standing on the top search engine rated website Certified Mold Inspectors for so long as the inspector and/or remediator keeps his or her annual dues paid on a current basis.

Each certified professional's name is published under the appropriate state of his or her residence. This good standing section  is where the general public is able to: (1) verify whether a particular inspector, contractor, remediator, and/or environmental hygienist is actually in good standing as to his and her PCI certification; and (2) find and hire a Certified Mold Inspector, Certified Mold Remediator, and/or Certified Environmental Hygienist.

If so desired by the certified professional, for only $49 additional advertising fee per year [full 12 months], he or she can add to the free posting of his or her good standing his or her: (1) office or home address [or simply the city name with no address]; (2) contact  phone number with area code; (3) contact cell phone number with area code; and (4) contact email address. If you want to advertise in more than one state in the good standing section of the website, you can do so for $49.00 per year for each additional state desired. Obviously, those PCI professionals who post their contact information will acquire many new clients each year from that low-cost posting of their contact information.

If you want to include your full contact information [as described above], you can pay the $49.00 per state annual fee for the publication of such full contact information.

LOW Advertising Rates are available for Your Own Personal Webpages on PCI's three mold inspector, and mold remediator/contractor websites. The annual advertising fee is
now only $200.00 for one metropolitan area (e.g., Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco Bay Area, etc.) or state area (e.g., Northern Indiana) per category (Inspector Directory or Remediator or Contractor Directory) for one ENTIRE year to be on Certified Mold Inspectors.
