Help with Radon Certification

[Rodney Misener]

Anyone know what IAC2 requires for radon certification? I can't seem to find anything on the website. Also, anyone know if there are any Canadian regulations regarding certification? Thanks.

Hi Rodney:

The Canadian regulations are currently under study. Health Canada and CMHC have ongoing Focus Group sessions and other meetings trying to determine the proper safe/unsafe levels and the proper protocols for taking samples.

So far nothing has been decided for sure, so any 'certifications' you are offered in Canada will not be valid because at the moment it's a moving target.

Rodney,

Bill is correct, with one exception, Health Canada will recognize the NEHA certification exam.

Thanks guys.

Rodney,
I believe the IAC2 for radon certification is designed to help members by giving them free certification instead of paying for it. For example, I took the NRPP certification course. In order to be certified through them, You also have to send them $ every year. Which I did. However, if you send IAC2 your education certificate, they will certify you for free. So you use the education requirements for the for free certification, but you don't have to pay for it. (At least that's what happened with me.)

If I remember you just enter your NACHI id# on the apply page (ignore the class) and click "continue application". But you can ask in your email to be sure.

Once approved, you can download your logo at http://www.iac2.org/logo.php

It doesn't work. You need to enter a course, and there are no courses listed for radon.
