George Washington University Launch Groundbreaking Public Certification Course on Mold Illness
United States, 14th Feb 2026 -- The National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI) is proud to announce a first-of-its-kind educational opportunity for the general public and mold professionals alike: Understanding Mold Illness: The Basics, an online course offered through The George Washington University Office of Professional Education.This unique opportunity makes university-level education on mold illness available not only to NORMI members, but also to non-member professionals and the general public, marking a significant step forward in accessible, science-based environmental health education.
"This is the first time an internationally-renowned university has recognized the need for a mold course at this level of detail," said Doug Hoffman, President of NORMI. "We are excited to incorporate this offering to our clients and professionals. Dr. Heyman has done an outstanding job of making this information easy to understand and, because it is so basic, it will lay a strong foundation of understanding for both the public and the profession."
A Foundational Course Addressing a Growing Need
Understanding Mold Illness: The Basics is a self-paced, online course designed to introduce participants to the science, health implications, and real-world challenges associated with mold exposure. The course covers:
o A credible academic framework bridging health science and environmental practice
o Practical communication strategies for professionals and the public
o Mycotoxins and environmental exposure pathways
o Common symptom patterns and clinical considerations
o Core science behind mold-related illness and inflammatory responses
The course was developed by Dr. Andrew Heyman, Fellowship Director Integrative Medicine Program at GWU, a recognized leader in environmental and mold-related health education.
"We are so excited to be able to partner with NORMI to offer this to a profession that needs this information," said Dr. Andrew Heyman. "Their clients are struggling in their pursuit of legitimate, science-based information about mold illness, and this is a great start in the right direction."
Certification Through George Washington University
Upon successful completion, participants receive a Certificate of Completion from George Washington University, adding academic credibility for professionals in mold inspection, remediation, indoor air quality, healthcare-adjacent fields, and environmental health -- as well as informed consumers seeking trustworthy education.

This offer is available to both professionals and the general public, reinforcing NORMI's commitment to education, transparency, and raising standards across the mold and indoor environmental health industries.
Why This Matters
Mold exposure continues to affect homes, schools, workplaces, and public buildings nationwide. While mold is common, the health impacts are often misunderstood, leading to confusion, misinformation, and frustration for affected individuals.
By supporting professional education with a leading academic institution, NORMI is helping bridge the gap between science, professional practice, and public understanding -- empowering individuals with credible, foundational knowledge that supports better decisions and healthier environments.
