Licensing
Do you need a license in Louisiana?
Important: Louisiana is one of the states that genuinely regulates mold work. Louisiana law has required licensing or registration for mold remediation and mold assessment performed for compensation above certain thresholds, administered through state authorities such as the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors and related agencies. Because these rules change and have specific exemptions, you must verify the current Louisiana mold licensing and registration requirements before performing paid mold remediation. A NISCR certificate is a professional training credential and does NOT replace any state-required mold license.
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
- Build full and partial containment with poly barriers, decontamination chambers, and sealed openings to prevent cross-contamination.
- Size, deploy, and balance HEPA air scrubbers and negative-air machines to hold proper pressure differential within the work area.
- Verify and document negative pressure using a manometer so containment integrity is provable on every job.
- Select and use HEPA vacuums, antimicrobials, and abrasive or media methods to remove growth from porous and non-porous materials.
- Identify and correct the underlying moisture source — leaks, condensation, and elevated humidity — so growth does not return.
- Use moisture meters, hygrometers, and thermo-hygrometers to confirm materials and air are dried to acceptable conditions.

Questions
Mold Remediation certification in Louisiana — FAQ
- Do I need a license to do mold remediation in Louisiana?
- Often yes. Louisiana regulates paid mold remediation and assessment, and a state license or registration may be required depending on the work and thresholds. Always verify current Louisiana requirements before doing paid mold work, because the NISCR certificate does not substitute for a state license.
- Is there demand for mold remediation in Louisiana?
- Very much so. The state's heat, humidity, and frequent flooding make mold a persistent problem, keeping demand for trained and properly licensed mold professionals high.
- Does the NISCR mold certificate count as a Louisiana mold license?
- No. The NISCR certificate documents professional training only. It is not a government mold license, so you must obtain any required Louisiana mold license or registration separately.
