Taught by Mark Cornelius, IICRC Board of Directors
The 14 September Tier 2 course is taught live by Mark Cornelius. Your training comes straight from the leadership of the organisation that publishes the ANSI/IICRC S520 mould remediation standard.
Mark Cornelius has been in the restoration industry since 1982 and has taught it since 2007. He is a serving member of the IICRC Board of Directors and an IICRC Vice President: when you train with UKAME, you are learning the standard from the leadership of the organisation that writes it.

- IICRC approved instructor since 2007 and an IICRC Certified Triple Master
- One of the first people in the world to hold the ANSI-accredited IICRC Mold Remediation Specialist (MRS) certification, and part of the beta testing of its exam

Why this matters
The IICRC publishes the ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation, the benchmark UKAME training courses are aligned with. Training delivered by a serving IICRC board member means what you learn is not an interpretation of the standard at arm's length: it comes from the people who set it.
