Virginia Register of Regulations, November 8, 2010, Page 539:

‘A.4.c.2.a/b. Mold Inspector’ – education requirements should stipulate that an applicant provide proof a bachelor degree or higher, in building engineering, architecture, industrial hygiene, environmental science, or a biological science AND have experience…’. Mold and microbial assessment is not like asbestos and lead assessment, where a degree in the physical sciences would be more appropriate. Degrees in industrial hygiene, environmental science, and the biological sciences (biology, microbiology, mycology, medicine, etc.) would be similar to the recommendations of the NIEHS Mold Workers’ Training Guideline of 2005.
