Certification Information:
To remain licensed/accredited to conduct asbestos abatement, inspections, or to prepare management plans, you must complete an approved refresher course in each specialty. The Institute courses are accepted in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and in all states that accept EPA-approved courses. Persons completing the course and attaining at least 70% on the course examination will be issued a certificate for completing the licensing/accreditation process.
Note: Although not mandated by the federal rule, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky (and several other states) require that all persons taking a refresher course must pass a course examination with the minimum of 70%. The examination and a review of the material covered in the initial course are a part of each refresher course.
It is important to complete your refresher training in a timely fashion. Although the federal rule allows you to miss your refresher training for a day less than one year, Indiana requires that you take it within 18 months of the last valid training or re-take the initial course. (And, of course, you cannot perform any work while your license is expired.)

State and federal law (EPA, OSHA and DOT) requires the use of accredited abatement workers for asbestos removal projects involving more than small amounts of asbestos. This course not only meets the state and federal training requirements, it also prepares participants to conduct jobs to ensure that the work is done safely and efficiently.
Under its AHERA Asbestos in Schools Rule, EPA mandated that all public, nonprofit private, and Defense Department K-12 schools must have an updated management plan for each building that leases, owns, or otherwise uses as a school building even if there are no asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) in such buildings.
Thus, the management planner must work with the building owner to accomplish two principal tasks:
- To prepare a management plan for all buildings with or without ACBM, and
- To make recommendations for the proper management of asbestos in all buildings with ACBM.
Course Features
- Reviewing inspection reports.
- Assessing asbestos hazards.
- Regulations affecting building owners.

Although OSHA does not require licensing, it does require that workers, competent persons, and inspectors receive annual refresher training equivalent to the EPA-approved training courses. These courses do fulfill all OSHA requirements.
The Institute's approved refresher courses bring you up-to-date on changes in federal, state, and local regulations, provide details on state-of-the-art work practices, review the basic information included in the initial accreditation course, and offer participants an opportunity to raise questions and discuss common concerns with other asbestos professionals.
Course Features:
- Update on state, federal and local asbestos regulations
- Examination for state reaccreditation.
Certification Information:
To remain licensed/accredited to conduct asbestos abatement, inspections, or to prepare management plans, you must complete an approved refresher course in each specialty. The Institute courses are accepted in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and in all states that accept EPA-approved courses. Persons completing the course and attaining at least 70% on the course examination will be issued a certificate for completing the licensing/accreditation process.
Note: Although not mandated by the federal rule, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky (and several other states) require that all persons taking a refresher course must pass a course examination with the minimum of 70%. The examination and a review of the material covered in the initial course are a part of each course.
It is important to complete your refresher training in a timely fashion. Although the federal rule allows you to miss your refresher training for a day less than one year, Indiana requires that you take it within 18 months of the last valid training or re-take the initial course. (And, of course, you cannot perform any work while your license is expired.)

Asbestos is everywhere. It is in buildings and occurs naturally. And it has not been banned. Some products can be sold with asbestos content and not be labeled as such.
Thus, common sense would say that building managers should be aware of its hazards and knowledgeable about its care. In addition to these common sense requirements, there are also specific regulatory requirements:
- The OSHA Asbestos Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101(k)(2)) requires building owners to identify certain materials as asbestos and to notify employees, tenants, and prospective contractors about the presence of these materials in their facilities.
- The U.S. EPA and several states have adopted requirements for managing asbestos in public and private K-12 schools under the so-called "AHERA" requirements. Among other things, AHERA requires that each local education agencies designate a person to ensure AHERA compliance regardless of whether that school system has any asbestos in any school building.
This course not only meets all AHERA training requirements for LEA Designated Persons (40 CFR 763.84(g))but it also helps all building managers keep building occupants safe while achieving cost-effective compliance with OSHA and EPA asbestos rules.
Course Features:
- Asbestos definitions and characteristics
- Important health and safety considerations
- Types of liability facing building owners
- A comprehensive overview of EPA & OSHA requirements
- Establishing and maintaining compliance strategies
Participants Receive:
- Comprehensive training manual
- Institute Compendium of Asbestos Rules
- Practical job aids for simplifying management procedures
