COURSE TITLE

AHERA Refresher Course for Asbestos Abatement Project Designers

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course meets the AHERA annual retraining requirements for individuals who have already taken Designing Asbestos Abatement Projects. Each offering of the course covers topics required by the EPA for refresher courses and introduces new subjects and information as well. During the afternoon of each course, we present complicated and controversial abatement design issues, and have students develop and discuss proposed solutions.

To use this course for AHERA reaccreditation purposes, you must bring the original certificate from your most recent EPA-approved project designer training course.

Many other training providers try to use the course materials we wrote for this course, because they know our materials are the best. No other school even comes close to matching the number and quality of our instructors. The best materials and the best instructors make for the best value in asbestos training.
