A message from the
Indoor Air Quality Council

The IAQ marketplace is saturated with certifications.

Unfortunately, most are offered by "Certification Mills": organizations that do little more than present courses, collect fees and administer simple tests.

These certifications provide little value to certificants, their clients or the public:

Mold - Cladosporium

Because they don't require field experience, they can't provide the customer with assurance of the certificant's abilities and expertise.

Because they aren't based upon verifiable documentation, they can't protect the certificant from legal challenges to his professional reputation.

Because they aren't recognized by independent accreditation bodies, they can't provide what the certificant needs most: respect in the marketplace.

Credentials from "Certification Mills" may look like an asset on paper; but once they are challenged, they become a grave liability to the certificate holder.

Professionals and consumers alike should know what makes the IAQ Council different.

Your American Indoor Air Quality Council certification represents a level of professionalism unmatched by others in the IAQ industry.
