Each state has different contractor and licensing requirements. You will need to comply with your local and state laws. The mold remediation course is a technical course that teaches how to remediate properties with microbial growth, but it is independent of state licensing requirements. While the AMRT course is based on the S520 Standard, many states have additional licensing requirements to perform mold remediation. Some of these states include Texas, New York, and Florida.
IICRC certifications don’t expire as long as they are renewed. The renewal process consists of paying the yearly IICRC renewal fee and earning 14 Continuing Education Credits every 4 years.

Can I Take The AMRT Course Online?
The Applied Microbial Remediation Technician course has to be taken in person. The IICRC does not allow this course to be taken online. This class is “applied” which means there are hands on elements that can’t be done in a live-stream class. We’ll build containments, don & doff PPE, and more!
The IICRC AMRT course teaches how to properly and safely remediate restoration projects with mold and sewage. Restorers will often start a water damage restoration project and find microbial growth during the drying process. Due to this, the AMRT course is often taken following the WRT (Water Restoration Technician) course. WRT teaches water damage restoration, while the AMRT course teaches mold remediation. For this reason, the WRT course is also a prerequisite for the AMRT course, and students must earn the WRT certification before taking the AMRT class.
The mold certification class is great for anyone in the restoration, cleaning, insurance repair and property management industries! Contractors, insurance professionals, property management, facilities engineers, mold remediation technicians can all benefit from understanding the mold remediation process, and the correct and safe way to remediate mold.
