Participants will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to:

• Understand asbestos health risks and regulatory requirements
• Identify, classify, and assess ACM and PACM in a variety of building environments
• Perform compliant building inspections
• Collect samples using proper methods and PPE
• Apply inspection protocols and analysis procedures
• Prepare professional reports and maintain regulatory documentation

Fit-testing is included. Students are encouraged to bring their own P100 negative-pressure respirator if they would like it tested during class.

Upon successful completion of the course and a minimum passing score of 70% on the final exam, participants must apply for licensure with the appropriate state agency. This typically includes submitting an application, paying required fees, and meeting experience or education requirements (e.g., a high school diploma or GED in Indiana).

This course is accepted for licensing in Indiana and Illinois, as well as EPA-approval-only states including Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio. Graduates are also eligible to continue their training toward Asbestos Management Planner accreditation.
