Licensing
Do you need a license in New Jersey?
Applied structural drying is a technical specialty and is generally not separately licensed in New Jersey. However, the underlying restoration project it supports may be subject to Home Improvement Contractor registration or mold-related rules. A NISCR certificate documents your training but is not a government license; verify any project-specific requirements with state and local authorities.
A NISCR Certificate of Completion confirms completion of NISCR training and examination. It is a professional credential, not a government license. Where local law requires a license to perform a service, the technician is responsible for obtaining it.

Curriculum
What you’ll learn
- Read a psychrometric chart to track temperature, relative humidity, GPP, and dew point through a drying job.
- Calculate the number of air movers and dehumidifier capacity a structure requires based on affected area and class of water.
- Choose between refrigerant, LGR, and desiccant dehumidifiers for the conditions and load on site.
- Design directional airflow that moves moisture off surfaces and into the dehumidification system efficiently.
- Apply controlled drying to wet materials — drywall, framing, hardwood, and concrete — instead of premature removal.
- Use moisture meters, hygrometers, and data loggers to establish a dry standard and confirm materials reach it.
