The UK Academy of Mould Experts (UKAME) is a UK training and membership provider for mould remediation professionals. It operates with the stated purpose of raising professional standards in mould remediation across the United Kingdom through training, professional recognition, and ongoing professional development.

UKAME is a trading name of UKAME Ltd, registered in England and Wales (company number 16355713).

== Background ==

Damp and mould in housing are recognised hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) and a focus of more recent legislation including Awaab's Law, which sets statutory timescales for social landlords to investigate and remediate damp and mould hazards in their properties. UKAME positions itself within this regulatory landscape as a provider of training and professional standards for the practitioners who carry out that work, including remediation contractors, housing maintenance staff, surveyors, and in-house housing teams.

== Training ==

UKAME offers a tiered training pathway for individuals working in or alongside the mould remediation sector. Training is aligned with the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) S520 standard for professional mould remediation, and courses are delivered by an IICRC certified trainer.

The pathway is structured around three principal stages:

* Free Mould Awareness — a self-paced online introduction covering the basics of mould, associated health risks, and prevention. Intended for homeowners, tenants, and frontline housing staff.
* Tier 2 Mould Remediation (one day) — practical training in safe remediation techniques, personal protective equipment (PPE) selection, containment procedures, and best practice. Intended for maintenance staff and technicians.
* Tier 3 Mould Remediation (two days) — extended practical training and assessment for technicians and specialists. Successful candidates are awarded a Tier 3 Certificate of Achievement and a UKAME Trained badge, and are listed in the UKAME public directory of trained practitioners.

UKAME also offers the IICRC Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) course, moisture meter training, and private in-house courses delivered on a client's premises.

== Membership ==

Membership is available to individual practitioners and to organisations operating in the mould remediation sector. Member benefits include:

* A digital membership card with QR code verification, enabling clients and commissioning organisations to verify a practitioner's credentials.
* A listing in the public UKAME directory.
* Permission to use the UKAME member logo on websites, vehicles, uniforms, and marketing materials, subject to brand guidelines.
* Downloadable templates including risk assessments, method statements (RAMS), and compliance checklists.
* Regulatory updates and best-practice guidance, including content on Awaab's Law and other UK housing health and safety obligations.
* Access to an AI Standards Advisor providing guidance on mould remediation best practice and UK regulations.
* Discounted rates on UKAME training courses.
