Course Descriptions and Information
Radon Mitigation Course
The Radon Mitigation Course is 24 hours long and is on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On late Friday afternoon, approximately at 3:45 PM, those students who are interested in certification by NEHA-NRPP will be able to take the necessary exam. This certification is recognized in almost all states.
The topics covered in this class include mitigation by sub-slab depressurization, by sub-membrane depressurization, by suction on perimeter drains, by ventilation (heat recovery ventilators), caulking and sealing, pressure field diagnostics, fan and pipe sizing and radon resistant new construction techniques (RRNC).
The instructor for this course is Mr. John Seidel, a radon mitigation instructor who also owns his own mitigation company in Salt Lake. Mr. Seidel will also take students to a home being mitigated so that students an get hands-on experience. The cost of this course by itself is $595 with an additional cost of $150 for the exam.
Students who are intending to be certified as mitigators, however, should understand that they also need to take the measurement course on Monday and Tuesday (taking the measurement test, however, is not necessary for students intending to be mitigators). So, unless the prospective mitigation student has already taken the measurement class in the past, he or she should sign up for both classes and plan on being in class for the entire week. Students who sign up for the whole week are given a discount of almost $100 because the combined course tuition is $895, instead of $990 ($395 plus $595).
Radon Measurement Class
The Radon Measurement Class is 16 hours long and is on Monday and Tuesday, starting at 7:30 AM on Monday when the class is part of a combined measurement/mitigation (full week) class. When it is offered by itself, as a stand-alone class, it is on Friday and Saturday, starting at 7:30 AM on Friday. See our schedule for dates and it will tell you if the course you are interested in is Monday/Tuesday or a Friday/Saturday course.
On the second day of the class, in the late afternoon, approximately 3:45 PM, those students who are interested in certification by the National Environmental Health Association National Radon Proficiency Program (NEHA-NRPP) will be able to take the necessary exam. This certification is nationally recognized by almost all states.
The topics covered in this class include radiation, health effects, radon entry mechanisms, proper testing protocols, testing devices, quality assurance/quality control and an introduction to mitigation of homes. Students will visit a on-site working charcoal canister laboratory, a working radon chamber and have an opportunity to see, and handle many different kinds of radon test devices.
The instructor for this course is Dr. James F. Burkhart, a physics professor at UCCS, the director of a working radon measurement lab and an internationally recognized scholar in research in radon-related topics. Dr. Burkhart holds many teaching honors from the University, including the Outstanding Teacher Award for the College and the Outstanding Teacher Award for the campus and he has been named a Presidential Teaching Scholar for the University of Colorado system. He has been awarded the President’s Award, the Scott Akerblom Award and the Nexus Award from the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists for his research and public service work in radon. The cost of this course is $395 and there is an additional cost of $150, for those who wish to take the exam.
Advanced ASD Diagnostics and System Design
This course treats ASD systems as air-handling systems and uses quantitative diagnostic procedures to determine system performance requirements as a basis for system component selection and overall operating characteristics. This process enables design of cost-effective systems which adequately control radon entry without creating unnecessary installation and operating costs from over-sized systems and excessive conditioned air loss.
Industry technical standards require minimizing excess energy consumption by radon mitigation systems. Increasing emphasis on energy efficiency in buildings will bring increased scrutiny of the energy impact of all building components, including mitigation systems. Future marketability of mitigation systems and their inclusion in "green" building programs will depend on demonstrably energy-efficient system design and operation.
This course is approved for 8 hours of Category 1 CE credit by both NEHA/NRPP and NRSB.

NOTE: These courses will be offered on the Saturday following the Mitigation courses in January, May and August. WRRTC reserves the right to cancel the class due to weather, enrollment limits or other issues that might arise. Please see the course schedule page for specific information.
Inspecting Radon Mitigation Systems during a Home Inspection - (classroom)
Designed primarily for home inspectors, but useful for radon mitigators as well, this course covers the aspects of passive and active radon mitigation system installation which can be visually verified. Requirements of mitigation technical standards and applicable code provisions are covered. An inspection checklist developed by EPA and ASHI is provided.
This course is approved for 4 hours of Category 1 CE credit by both NEHA/NRPP and NRSB.

Difficult-to-Mitigate Houses
This course covers the major causes of ineffective mitigation systems and provides building investigation, diagnostic and system design techniques to avoid those failures. Case studies are utilized to illustrate failure modes and preventive/corrective actions.
