Network
The continuing education and peer network built exclusively for Certified Forensic Operators\u00ae. Earn the Certified EnviroDecon Operator\u00ae (CEO\u00ae) designation \u2014 the clinical-grade certification that positions your restoration business as a forensic partner, not a contractor.
The Certification That Turns Contractors Into Clinical Partners
The Certified Education Network (CEN) is the continuing education and peer network built exclusively for Certified Forensic Operators\u00ae \u2014 restoration contractors who want to build clinical-grade forensic restoration practices under the Microbial Warrior\u00ae International training system.
The Certified EnviroDecon Operator\u00ae (CEO\u00ae) designation is the CEN\u2019s primary certification. It is the only forensic restoration credential that requires physician oversight \u2014 a Medical Director engagement that is simultaneously the program\u2019s most powerful legal safeguard against franchise classification and its most powerful competitive differentiator.
No PuroClean competitor \u2014 Servpro, ServiceMaster, BioOne \u2014 requires or offers physician oversight of remediation. The CEO\u00ae designation gives certified operators something their corporate training programs cannot: a credential that positions them as clinical partners rather than contractors.

The CEN Operator Advantage
CEO® Designation
Earn the Certified EnviroDecon Operator® designation — the only forensic restoration credential requiring physician oversight and clinical documentation standards. Recognized in international scientific journals.
FIGSCDT/FIGACDT Technology
Access to proprietary fluorescence imaging and airborne contamination detection technology — not available to uncertified operators. Document contamination with precision that insurance adjusters cannot dispute.
Premium Pricing Authority
CEO® operators command 4× the billing rate of uncertified competitors on forensic restoration jobs. Biohazard gross margins run 65–80% vs. 40–55% for standard restoration. The certification pays for itself in the first job.
Physician Partnership Model
The CEO® certification includes a Medical Director engagement framework — the legal and operational structure for the physician partnership that is the CEN’s most powerful competitive differentiator and franchise-classification safeguard.
National CEN Directory
Listed in the national Certified Education Network operator directory — the referral network that routes forensic restoration jobs to certified operators. CIRS-treating physicians, insurance adjusters, and property managers use the directory.
Peer Network & Case Studies
Monthly case studies, advanced fentanyl and CIRS protocol updates, and a peer network of CEO® holders sharing field experience. The CEN is a continuing education community built for operators actively building forensic restoration practices.
