What is a CMC?
A Council-certified Microbial Consultant (CMC) has earned the most respected certification in the field of microbial consulting.
A CMC is certified as knowledgeable and experienced in all facets of microbial investigation and consulting, including the design and execution of sampling regimens.
To earn and maintain the CMC, every candidate must:
-
Demonstrate at least eight (8) years of verifiable field experience in microbial consulting
-
Pass a rigorous, psychometrically rated examination based on broad industry knowledge rather than a course curriculum
-
Earn the unanimous approval of the CMC certification board
-
Re-certify every two years
-
Participate in 20 hours of professional development activities each year
-
Maintain the highest ethical standards
The CMC certification is accredited by the Council for Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB), a nationally recognized independent accreditation body. IAQ Council certifications are the ONLY designations in indoor air quality to earn CESB accreditation.
