Radon Service Provider Continuing Education Page

All registered radon service providers are required to refresh or enhance their skills through continued education in radon related topics. If you are a "non-supervised" tester or mitigator, every two years a minimum of 16 "continuing education units" must be accrued to maintain your registration status (8 classroom and 8 "other"). If you a non-supervised tester AND mitigator, then you need a total of 24 CEU's every 2 years- These 24 CEU's must consist of 16 classroom and 8 other. These requirements are the same as those set forth by the EPA when they were still the governing body responsible for establishing radon service provider credentials.

This page has been developed as a resource for our "RSP's" to find the training for the CEU's they must accrue prior to the next registration renewal. There are various ways to satisfy your continuing ed requirements. They include taking an onsite course, a distance learning course, attending a radon-related or "building as a system" workshop or seminar, etc. If you have taken any of the approved courses (see list below) then to obtain CEU's for the activity simply retaing the certificates of attendance or course completion and submit them along with your renewal forms at registration time. If you wish to take alternate training that does not have prior approval (not on this list), then you must submit a "Continuing Education Activity Approval Request Form". This form must be filled out as completely as possible for you to receive the maximum amount of CEU's for the activity.

To insure the training is applicable and will be accepted, you are advised to submit this information well in advance of signing up for the training.

The list below was compiled in January 04 to reflect what we received from each registered individual last registration renewal. It will not be updated until after the next registration renewal (10-1-04). All CEU training documentation (sign in sheets, certificates of completion etc) must be retained by the service provider for inclusion in your renewal paperwork next October 04) If you need to know where you stand with regard to CEU's, or find a discrepancy in this list, please call us at 1-800-232-0842 or 207-287-5698 (out of state)

State of Maine Approved Radon Instruction:

The Maine Radon / Indoor Air Quality Section has adopted the policy that it will accept all NRSB and NEHA approved radon courses for both initial training and continuing education. This will greatly expand the existing opportunities for initial and continuing education for all radon service providers. Please remember, however, that the Maine Radon Registration Act and the Air and Water Radon Service Provider's Registration Rules, and all other Maine specific regulations and policies supercede any conflicting information that may be dispensed in these national training modules. It is the Maine Radon Service Providers responsibility to ensure that he or she is aware of all Maine radon requirements, some of which vary from the EPA protocols or those from other states.

As discussed above, any training not specific to radon or radon training that is not listed here, will require submission of the "Continuing Education Activity Request Approval Form" for review by our office. (call or office if you need another form faxed or mailed to you)
