What is a CMRS?
A Council-certified Microbial Remediation Supervisor (CMRS) has earned the most respected certification in the field of microbial remediation supervising.
A CMRS is certified as knowledgeable and experienced in microbial remediation and capable of supervising others in microbial remediation projects.
To earn and maintain the CMRS, every candidate must:
-
Demonstrate at least five (5) years of verifiable field experience in microbial remediation
-
Pass a rigorous, psychometrically rated examination based on broad industry knowledge rather than a course curriculum
-
Earn the unanimous approval of the CMRS certification board
-
Re-certify every two years
-
Participate in 20 hours of professional development activities each year
-
Maintain the highest ethical standards
The CMRS certification is accredited by the Council of 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.
