18 VAC 15-60-60. Training reciprocity. The section states that the ALMHI Board may approve training courses offered by vendors approved by other states provided they are substanially equivalent to the requirements set for Virginia. DPOR has no stadard by which to assess "substantially equivalent" which leaves an opening for unfair assessment by the ALMHI Board. My understanding of the regulations is that a training provider MUST provide instruction on Virginia regulations or the training cannot be considered substantially equivalent, although I consider the training requirements for a Mold Assessment Technician to be equivalent, if not more stringent than those for Virginia.
