Defective Drywall

Because of the recent demand from the industry, the institute decided to take on the task of developing a national protocol and certification program. This was essential given the recent failures with the remediation process and confusion to the exact extent of the problems. Despite the difficulty with the science, several companies, a workgroup called Defective Drywall in America, the University of Florida (research & analysis) and a group of concerned citizens pushed for the completion of a viable solution to the crisis.

The work included thousands of hours and almost four hundred thousand dollars in time and cost to complete. The institute is proud to be the vehicle that will host the first National Training and Certification Program that has been designed to assist those who have been affected by this crisis.

Because of the large under taking of this project and the constant changes daily, these certification programs will be upgraded every hundred and twenty days (120) for certified individuals who successfully pass the exams to insure compliance with the construction industry and local, state, and federal code bodies.

At this time, these certifications should be considered an evolving process requiring continual updates and modifications as new information becomes available. All students that successfully pass the proctored exams will be updated through the institute at no cost for a period of two (2) years. All certifications in the institute require an online renewal process to insure compliance to certification standards.
