Mold Certifications by Pro-Lab?

[Guest guest]

can anyone help me with this bit of a mystery?

we've been hearing quite a lot lately about a one-day " mold

certification " offered by Pro-Lab, primarily to home inspectors.

see: http://www.reliablelab.com/training/

it appears that one Doug Caprio is traveling around the country,

offering to certify just about anyone, regardless of their technical

background -- or lack thereof. and the cost of this certification

can't be beat: it's free! <hhmmmmm....>

who is this Caprio, and what qualifies him to teach anybody

anything? I can find no bio, list of credentials, and certainly no

CV on their site.

I realize this is a thinly veiled marketing effort on the part of

his employer. and they're certainly the low price leader for spore

trap analyses. but, I've always been taught that (generally

speaking) you STILL get what you pay for.

anybody?
