What is the CIAQM certification?


The Council-Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager (CIAQM) is a certification offered by the American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC).  It is designed for people that manage indoor air quality in a specific building or a campus. This certification is popular among facility mangers, health & safety officers, building engineers, and property managers.  The CIAQM is a great certification to document your knowledge and experience with maintaining good indoor air quality in buildings under your care. Our company, Indoor Sciences, offers the IAQ Manager Course to prepare you for the CIAQM certification.

What are the CIAQM prerequisites?


The ACAC requires Council-certified Indoor Air Quality Manager (CIAQM) applicants to have 2 years of field experience in indoor air quality.  They reduce the experience requirement to 1 year if you have a college degree in science, engineering, or related field.

Experience is documented by filling out project sheets which are part of the CIAQM application. If you have questions about your experience meeting the requirements, we suggest you contact the ACAC at 888-808-8381.
