IAQ Manager Course
Who should take this course?
If you are a facility manager, health & safety officer, building engineer, or property manager with an interest in air quality, the IAQ Manager Course is for you. Not only does our course teach you about operating and maintaining your building to improve the indoor air quality, but it also prepares you for the CIAQM certification. This class is designed for individuals that work in a specific building or a campus. If you are a consultant that evaluates indoor air quality in different buildings each day, the Indoor Environmentalist Course would be more appropriate for you.

We teach the IAQ Manager Course as an online program. However, if you have a private group needing training, we can provide you with a quote to teach the class at your facility. Just contact us for information about private, on-site courses.
