Steps for Radon Certification

Many radon professionals find it valuable to be certified in the radon field in order to provide assurance to their clients that they are receiving services that are within standards, ethics and protocols that can be relied on.  It has especially become important to have the certification in order to provide services during real estate transactions (which account for approximately 70% of radon testing and mitigation).

The professional recognition you and your business receive from being nationally or state certified is an integral part of the professionalism and excellence we provide in our training programs.  We are committed to providing you, your business, and your clients with the assurance that the extra efforts you take in holding a national or state certification means your qualifications are of the highest standards.
