The American Indoor Air Quality Council (IAQ) has approved a new certification exam for its Council-certified Indoor Air Quality Manager (CIAQM) program.
The IAQ Council’s CIAQM is the only independently accredited certification in the field of indoor air quality management. The program is designed for building, property and facilities managers and others involved in policy making related to indoor air quality.
The 100-question examination meets certification board specifications for content coverage and item difficulty and is based entirely on industry reference texts. Exam items were submitted by a team of industry experts and professional item writers. The CIAQM certification board then validated each item and authorized the construction of the exam from the best items submitted. The final draft exam was approved by a unanimous vote of the certification board.
The new examination is available to all CIAQM candidates via the IAQ Council’s network of secure electronic testing centers.
