Mold Inspection and Remediation

Were you affected by Hurricane Florence, or are you working with homeowners or business owners who were affected by Hurricane Florence and having to deal with mold? Do you need knowledge on how to properly inspect for mold or to perform mold remediation? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then Craven Community College has the solution.

Craven Community College, in conjunction with a grant awarded by the American Red Cross, has developed a 32-hour training program on the proper methods for inspection of and the remediation of mold contamination. This training program provides training on the following topics: conducting a mold inspection, commonly found mold species and their potential health affects, mold sampling techniques, containment techniques, moisture concerns, mold data interpretation, and hands-on practicals.

To accommodate the busy schedules of everyone needing this training, Craven CC is offering a day class, evening class, and weekend class. For those individuals who were affected by Hurricane Florence, the registration cost for these classes are covered by the Red Cross Grant.
