>> Maryland, as of October 1st of 2013, requires you to be certified, and they only use the ACAC.
I've been certified through what's called the IICRC, which is the Institute
of Inspection Restoration Certification.
I've been with them for 20 something years, and they certify you in water damage restoration,
carpet cleaning, spot cleaning, mold remediation, everything.
Microbiology would be a good thing to take for this type of work.
Any type of structural type of classes, engineering classes, anything to tell you
about the different structures that are in the home and stuff like that
so you could be able to, you know, assess what's going on in the different types
of load bearing walls, stuff like that.
And then microbiology.
A lot of people have degrees in microbiology that are in my field.
