Complete Damp & Mould Surveyor Diagnostics Pathway — Beginner to Specialist
The complete diagnostics route, from first principles to specialist-level evidence. Start with the Level 1 Beginner Damp Surveyor course to build the foundations, then certify face to face on the 3-day Certified Damp Surveyor classroom course (FODCS) — City & Guilds Assured. Then add the two specialisms housing providers and landlords are actively paying for: Mould Assessment & Remediation (Aligned with IICRC S520 and WHO guidance) and Thermal Imaging Mastery, putting visual diagnostic evidence in every report. Four courses, one journey: understand damp, diagnose it to a certified standard, assess and specify mould remediation, and prove your findings with imaging — the exact competence Awaab’s Law is holding the housing sector to. Certified, you’re eligible to apply for Federation of Damp membership and a listing on the public Find a Specialist register.
