The Strategic Alliance between NORMI™ and NormiCanada.
At the start of 2025, Doug Hoffman of NORMI™ and Mark Foster of Foster First Solutions began what would become a strategic alliance between their two organisations. The Alliance has established NormiCanada, working closely with NORMI™ to expand their gold standard of training & certification for Canada.
Live Training starts January 2026 in Canada. Stay Tuned!
About NORMI™ – founded in July 2004 in Abita Springs, Louisiana. The executive director (Doug Hoffman) witnessed the damage from flooding, mould growth and the often‐poor remediation practices that followed. He set about to create an organisation to train and certify professionals in remediation and indoor environmental quality. Over time NORMI™ expanded its certifications, training programs, entered legislative discussions about state‐licensing of mold & microbial remediation professionals, and broadened into indoor air quality (IAQ) and microbial contamination more generally.
NORMI™’s Mission Statement & Goals:
“Realizing that our nation’s indoor air environments and drinking water sources are at risk, NORMI™ is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the indoor living environment through educating the public and training professionals to identify problems and offer solutions to improve indoor air and drinking water quality.” – Doug Hoffman.
Staying true to their original goals – training professionals (IAQ, drinking water, mould remediation), educating the public, influencing state/provincial licensing legislation, offering continuing education, supporting its membership, while the numbers of students and new & diverse trainings increase every year.
Offering 30+ types of certifications (e.g., Certified Mould Assessor, Certified Indoor Environmental Advisor, Certified Biocide Applicator, Formaldehyde Screener, Illicit Drug Cleanup etc. Their intention is to improve occupant health, protect living environments, support professionals in the business of remediation/IAQ, and respond to evolving environmental health threats.
