NCRSI™ / NCMP™ – Dual Certification Class for Sensitized Individuals

NCRSI™/NCMP™ Class for Sensitized Individuals
Dual Certification Class for Sensitized Individuals

“The sensitized individual is the client who can not tolerate the traditional assessment or remediation process and must, therefore, hire a professional who understands the importance of utilizing the latest processes, chemistries and techniques to accomplish the goal of a safer, cleaner, healthier indoor environment.  NORMI, jointly with WonderMakers, is offering this dual certification for the purpose of properly educating the IAQ/Mold professional and with the goal of assuring the sensitized individual that the job will be done correctly the first time.  NCRSI™ required a proctored examination while the NCMP™ requires a capstone project to evidence proficiency in completing these types of projects.  The NORMIPro designation requires this course as a pre-requisite to that designation to assure the public that the professional is well-trained, credentials and experienced in handling their unique project.” Doug Hoffman, Executive Director of NORMI

NORMI Certified Remediator for Sensitized Individuals (NCRSI)™

The NCRSI™ is a two-day advanced assessor remediator course that trains the mold professional on a remediation protocol specifically designed to better meet the needs of sensitized occupants and high-risk individuals. The course is offered through NORMI with the primary instruction provided by Wonder Makers Environmental.

NCRSI CertificateThis course provides 14 CEUs for the Florida MRS License, course #302, and CEs toward any IICRC certification.

Although substantial progress has been made in the last two decades in developing appropriate procedures, industry guidelines, and even regulations regarding mold remediation; most of those efforts have been directed toward remediation that produces an environment that is safe for typical occupants. However, experience has shown that such “standard” remediation projects, even when done in full compliance with the current industry standard of care, often are not enough to create a safe environment for individuals who have become sensitized to mold.


NORMI Certified Microbial Professional (NCMP)™

The NCMP™ represents the highest-level training available in the mold remediation industry. From its inception, it incorporated a number of features which set it apart from other offerings in the restoration industry. As it was prior to the rebranding, prerequisites to the NCMP™ require interested individuals to have successfully completed a mold remediation technician course and a mold remediation supervisor course (while these courses are also offered by Wonder Makers Environmental, the prerequisites can be obtained from a number of sources including NORMI, IICRC, Indoor Sciences, etc.).Successful completion of the NORMI Certified Remediation for Sensitized Individuals class is also required for students to attend the NCMP class (the NCRSI™ and NCMP™ classes are conveniently offered back-to-back for anyone wanting to complete the pre-requisite at the same time as the NCMP™).  In addition to successfully completing the NCMP™ course, the completion of a capstone project is required of individuals who aspire to become a NORMI Certified Microbial Professional.

NCMP CertificateMichael Pinto, CEO of Wonder Makers Environmental noted: 

“We are very excited to be partnering with NORMI to continue this important certification in the restoration and mold remediation industry. The NCMP™ is as important to the safe control of mold contamination today as it was when the first designation was offered in 2004.”

NORMI Executive Director, Doug Hoffman, also is appreciative of the value that the new course and accreditation adds for NORMI. 

“We have been in the process of working on the development of an upper tier mold program at NORMI for the last five years. Bringing this excellent training into our organization preserves the best traditions of the CMP while modernizing the material to include an additional emphasis on some additional microbial contaminants and building science concepts. With the inclusion of the new NORMIPro Monitoring Program, NCMPs will be offering their clients long-term solutions.”

Linking the NCMP™ to the detailed procedural material in the NCRSI™ class ensures that certified microbial professionals understand the latest remediation techniques and the importance of developing a network of support services for the client.

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 bedevil sensitized individuals.

The NCRSI™ class is offered through NORMI with the primary instruction provided by Wonder Makers Environmental. This combination means that the certification 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.

NCRSI™/NCMP™ Course Outline

NCRSI™ Course – Days 1 & 2

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

Teaching mold professionals how to create a healthier environment to help the sensitized client to heal.

TOPICS COVERED:

  • Seeing the Big Picture
  • Connection between Medical and Environmental
  • Analytical Systems
  • End Points
  • Source Removal Procedures
  • Content Decontamination
  • Whole Structure Cleaning
  • HVAC Cleaning
  • Post Remediation Evaluation
  • Rebuild & Remodel
  • Putting It All Together

IT STARTS WITH AWARENESS:

The awareness that some occupants are sensitized to mold has led to the development of specialized practices and procedures for projects to assist individuals in this high-risk group. In the past, these specialized techniques were learned the hard way as contractors dealt in a trial-and- error approach to adapt regular remediation practices for their customers who were more susceptible than normal to mold, mycotoxins and other contaminants frequently found in water-damaged buildings.

WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR SPECIALIZED REMEDIATION?

One of the things that sets mold remediation apart from responding to water losses and fires is the medical component of many mold cases. Often, structural mold is not visible, which results in occupants unknowingly living or working in mold-infested environments. This can lead to the development of sensitivities to mold and other indoor contaminants.

TWO-DAY CERTIFICATION CLASS WITH CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS

In an effort to meet the needs of this market segment, NORMI (National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors) is offering the two-day NCRSI™ class to assist contractors in helping meet the needs of mold-sensitized individuals. Partnering with Wonder Makers Environmental, NORMI is offering this specialized course in person at the NORMIPro Academy in Florida as well as via livestream.
