3) Submit a "Verification Form" along with a copy of your certificate to the Radon Program (there are no State fees).

There are many programs that offer training programs acceptable to both the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) and the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA).  If you are looking at a particular training program contact either of the certifying boards to confirm the acceptability of that  program.  It is not up to the State of California to accept or reject a particular training program.

Once you are certified by either NRSB or NEHA, complete the verification form (PDF)Opens in new window.and send it, along with a copy of your certificate, to the CDPH Indoor Radon Program, at the address below (see contact information).
