The purpose of the continuing education program is to assure that all professionals continue to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the radon profession and keep abreast of new developments within this program field. The NRSB continuing education program provides a means of documenting this continuing professional education for state, federal and professional agencies, as well as the public at large.
Each year, prior to the anniversary of the participants’ initial certification, a reminder will be sent by the administrative staff that applicants for renewal must submit proof of continuing education training during the year. Individuals may submit information regarding approved course completions throughout the year, and may also submit evidence of courses taken which are pending approvals.
Measurement & Mitigation Specialist – 8 credits/yr Measurement Technicians – 4 credits/yr
Note: If you have been certified by NRSB for 10 YEARS OR MORE your CE credit obligation will be cut in half.
In general, it is anticipated that courses and activities appropriate for continuing education credit will fall into two categories:
Category I- including traditional classroom lecture courses and hands-on courses, correspondence courses, video based courses, and other types of distance learning courses.
Category II- including Symposium/Conference attendance, the presentation of technical papers, published articles in professionals journals, and public outreach presentations, instruction, technical service, attendance at professional meetings, and apprenticeship;
Category I credits are likely to be given on an “hour for hour” basis, and credits for Category II on the basis of a published schedule which acknowledges the different levels of participation and education associated with the various recognized activities.
The NRSB does not provide radon education courses, but it does approve both classroom and distance learning courses. The following courses have been approved by the NRSB for fulfilling the education requirements for Radon Measurement and Mitigaton Specialists.
