This Texas CMR course meets the 40 hour requirement for the TDLR licensure course. It is the initial course for the remediation contractor.
The 5 day (40 Hour) Texas Mold Remediation Contractor (TXMRC) course is designed to provide Texas mold remediation contractors, from a building science viewpoint, the necessary concepts, knowledge, hands-on training and techniques to understand the health issues connected to mold, seeing mold under the umbrella of indoor air quality, understand the assessment process with pre-, interim, and pre-sampling techniques, how to properly build containment, create and maintain negative pressure with fresh air makeup, utilize the newest PRV24K technology and perform mold remediation in microbial contaminated properties in accordance with the IICRC Standard of Care and the NORMI Professional Practices (best practices for the mold industry). Tex. Admin. Code § 78.58
Once the student has attended the class, the student will sit for a 100 question exam and be qualified to apply for TDLR licensure and NORMI CMR Certification.
