The residential mitigation certification is a two year credential for those individuals who either provide or oversee the installation of radon mitigation services in residential structures.
To qualify for this credential one must have attended an approved entry level mitigation course and passed a NEHA radon mitigation exam in the 12 months previous to application for certification. NEHA NRPP does accept former EPA listing as a Mitigation Service Provider when combined with documentation of course and exam passage (please contact the administrative office for assistance).
In addition to fulfilling continuing education credit requirements one must follow the Radon Mitigation Standards, EPA 402-R-93-078, October 1993 (Revised April 1994). A copy of the RMS is available at: www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/index.html
Additional credentials are under development for mitigation professionals who treat large buildings, such as schools and commercial buildings, and for those who plan to treat radon in water. The basic residential mitigation credential will be a prerequisite for these new credentials.
