Indoor Air Quality Manager Training

Online Indoor Air Quality Certification
If you are a building owner, facility manager or health and safety officer, indoor air quality (IAQ) represents an important issue to your facility, its occupants and your organization. Poor IAQ can cause symptoms and diseases that lead to lost attendance and may create liability issues. In this 100% online course, you will learn to diagnose, resolve, and prevent IAQ complaints. As you learn to improve your building’s indoor air, you will also prepare for the Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager exam from the American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC).

Job Outlook for Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager

This is much faster than expected growth for all jobs. The BLS cites growing public awareness of the importance of environmental hazards as the key factor driving this strong demand.
  • BLS data indicates that Environmental Scientists and Specialists earn $71,360 per year on average across a variety of disciplines. According to PayScale.com, the average salary for an Air Quality Specialist is $66,686 per year.

Certified IAQ Manager FAQs
WHAT SKILLS DOES A CERTIFIED IAQ MANAGER NEED?
IAQ Managers combine knowledge of building systems with skills in areas of air quality measurement, monitoring, and remediation in case of a problem. They need to know how air gets into a building and circulates via the Heating, Cooling, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. And they need to have a keen sense of indoor pollutants, including their sources and movement inside the building. They manage a building’s records and conduct regular inspections to ensure air quality.

WHERE DO CERTIFIED IAQ MANAGERS WORK?
The Council-Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager (CIAQM) certification is designed for those who manage indoor air quality in buildings or campuses. According to the ACAC, the certification is commonly held by facility managers, health & safety officers, building engineers, and property managers.

IS CERTIFICATION IMPORTANT FOR IAQ MANAGERS?
The ACAC is the only independent, third-party accreditation provider for IAQ. This independence assures potential employers and clients that you have undertaken a challenging course of study to acquire formal IAQ skills and a credential. Although each state and municipality sets its own standards for air quality management, some states require certification for IAQ Managers. Please check your state or local regulations.
