Professional Radon Courses and Exams

Radon Measurement Technician Course

Are you ready to add the #1 requested environmental service in a real estate transaction to your professional repertoire? Did you know that performing only three tests a week can add a revenue of $19,500 per year? Would you like to take a course and receive between $600-$900 in earning potential from the supplies you receive (which basically reimburses you for the course)?

The 16-hour Radon Measurement Technician course will teach individuals the methods that are used in radon testing for real estate purposes and individual homeowner tests. Our course will also explore how and where to market your new professional service and explain to your client the next steps to take after the initial radon test results.

Delivery Methods for the Radon Courses

We offer the course in three approved learning methods:

Live training ECAN performs live class training around the Nation. Our professional instructors are or have been involved in Radon Measurement. Our instructors demonstrate and show the equipment that is used in the industry. Quizzes and exams are given during the class and reviewed to ensure you are ready to take a State or Nationally recognized exam.

Home study self-paced ECAN provides the student with all the materials that are used in a live class such as the printed manuals, PowerPoint Show, and handouts (excluding the equipment). A home study course is great for those who may have complications using a computer or who do not have time to attend a live class and those. Timed quizzes and exams are provided at the end of each section with an answer key to ensure you are ready to take a State or Nationally recognized exam.

Webinar Our live webinar course allows our students to be part of a live course from the comfort of their home or offices. The course is not a pre-recorded class training, but a live presentation hosted the day of the course where Joe Lyons will go through the PowerPoint Presentation in a manner geared to teach each student. Students have the ability to ask questions and interact with Joe if something is not clear enough or if you have any question about radon or your future radon business. If you cannot make it to a live course this is your best option if you are an active learner who asks questions and wants visual equipment demonstrations as well as marketing tips.

Online Courses The online course is great for those who cannot take time out of their busy schedule to attend a live class and want to take the training at their own pace. Timed quizzes and exams are given at the end of each section. At the end of the quizzes and exam, you have the option of reviewing your answers and/or retaking a quiz or exam to achieve a better score. This will help to ensure you are ready to take a State or Nationally recognized exam. The online course has a downloadable manual, handouts, and videos that are needed to attain an understanding of Radon Measurement.

It is important to know that two states, Ohio and Florida, only accept live training as a qualification for initial radon licensing. Ohio accepts Live classrooms but they also accept the live webinar due to it being a live course simply at a distance.

Radon Exams

Radon exams are not required by all states. Some states have their own specific exams, most licensing states recognize the National Radon Exams which are the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB). However, two states have their own radon licensing exams, Illinois and Florida.
