This training prepares participants to conduct competent radon measurements in residential settings and to interpret results for clients. It also prepares the student to sit for the national radon proficiency certification exam. Some of the topics covered include:
- Basics of radon
- Physics of radon
- Health effects of radon
- Radon measurements
- Quality assurance/quality control

- Basic radon mitigation techniques
Typically home inspectors, realtors, environmental consultants, public health officials and real estate professionals attend the training. EPA and states encourage participants to pass the measurement exam and apply for certification with either the NEHA National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) certification programs.
This training is designed to equip home inspectors on how to inspect an active radon mitigation system during a typical home inspection. The course was developed in cooperation with USEPA and the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) checklist. The training will provide classroom presentations and fieldwork in a residential home to inspect an active mitigation system. All home inspectors, realtors or health officials are recommended for this training. This training has been approved for NRPP continuing education credits and 2 MRCs with American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).
