The Professional Certification Institute distance learning program provides you with complete, practical, state-of-the-art, ONLINE plus internet and PC-based mold training, environmental hygienist education and training, water leak detection training, and home/building waterproofing training so that you can earn a high income as a self-employed environmental professional. A Certified Mold Inspector concentrates his or her inspection and testing of a home or other building on discovering and documenting mold infestation. A Certified Environmental Hygienist investigates a home or building for mold plus many other environmental health risks such as microbiological contamination. Students master their environmental educational courses by online and computer-based study in the three password-protected websites: Mold Knowledge (mold inspection, testing, remediation, and prevention), Environmental Hygienist, plus the five PCI mold training ebooks written or co-authored by mold expert Phillip Fry.

Students also have the unlimited email and telephone assistance of
PCI Instructor Phillip Fry to answer any student questions.
Read mold student testimonials as to the effectiveness of PCI mold training.

To maximize your earnings as mold inspector and/or home inspector, be sure to include mold inspection and testing techniques in your home inspection training, home inspector training, home inspector education, home inspector school, home inspector class, and health and safety training.

   How Do I Enroll and Pay My Tuition and Dues?
Your first step is to complete (neat printing in black ink) and sign the Training Application, and send to PCI by email attachment to:  moldconsultant@yahoo.com.

How do I pay the tuition and annual PCI dues?  You can pay with your Visa, Master Card, American Express Card, or Discover Card by the payment processor 2checkout.com link on the bottom of the home page of Ecology College. Alternatively, you can pay by personal or business check in US dollars (or the equivalent value in another widely-accepted currency such as Canadian, German, UK, NZ, Australian, Japanese, etc.) mailed to the Professional Certification Institute, National Highway, Botong, Lumbangan, Mabinay 6207, Negros Oriental, Philippines. Please allow at least two weeks for delivery by Global Priority Mail or by international airmail. You can also pay by international bank wire. If you pay by bank wire, you can take a US$75 discount off of your payment, a sum that should be about twice as much as your bank's actual wire charge for you to pay by bank wire. If you want to pay by bank wire, please let PCI/Ecology College know that when you submit your Training Application.

How Can I Make Money with My Certifications?
The mold training and environmental hygienist courses include many suggestions on how to attract mold and environmental hygienist clients to your professional mold practice. In addition, you would do well financially by utilizing the low-cost and very effective mold inspector and mold remediator advertising services available to you on the mold inspector directory website Certified Mold Inspectors. Visit Website Advertising for full details.

Where Can I Use My Professional Designation Certifications?
The Certified Mold Inspector and Certified Mold Remediator professional designation certifications can be used anywhere in the world except the State of Texas, wherein you would need to attend a Texas-licensed mold training school that is physically located in Texas. Because PCI teaches only online and is not located physically in Texas, PCI cannot provide you with mold professional certifications for use in Texas.

The Certified Environmental Hygienist professional designation certification can be used anywhere in the world, including Texas, but you would not be able to use the C.E.H. designation in Texas to do mold inspection, testing, and remediation unless you have also become Texas-trained and licensed to provide mold services.

Please note that you will need to obtain a city or state/provincial business license in most cities in the USA, Canada, and elsewhere in the world to do any kind of business activity including mold inspection, mold testing, mold remediation, environmental hygiene, water leak detection, and waterproofing. If your business will be home-based (and if local zoning does not permit home-based businesses), you may need to rent a private, local business mail box street address from a company like Mail Boxes Etc. to obtain your local business license.

If your business activities will include any structural work or repairs (such as plumbing repairs after you locate a water leak), you will probably need to obtain the appropriate contractor license or work in conjunction with licensed professionals such as a plumber or construction contractor. For contractor licensing requirements, check with your local or state building department, contractor licensing agency, or building inspector.
