Training Courses

Model Training Courses

The model courses below are only provided to show training providers the required curriculum for informational purposes. These model courses can only be used as part of a current EPA accredited training program.

Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule Model Training Courses

EPA has developed the following training courses to provide instruction to individuals seeking certification as a renovator or dust sampling technician. EPA is not planning to develop model Dust Sampling Technician refresher training. Training providers seeking accreditation to teach this refresher training must develop their own course and submit it with their application for accreditation.

Electronic-Learning Format Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule Model Training Courses

EPA has also developed an electronic-learning (E-learning) model course for the Initial Renovator and the Lead Dust Sampling Technician courses. EPA is not planning to develop either a renovator or dust sampling technician refresher E-learning curriculum at this time. Training providers may develop their own E-learning refresher courses, and submit the alternative course with their application for review. To view the model course click on the link and click on "save" to save the file to your computer. Open the saved file and extract the zip files. Open the file and click on the icon labeled "index" to launch the course. After E-learning accreditation, each training provider will receive a full set of source files that can be incorporated into their learning management system.

Expedited Approval Process for CertainTraining Providers

EPA has developed an expedited process for training providers with an existing EPA accreditation to teach the initial renovator RRP course. This process allows accredited trainers to amend their accreditations in order to offer an electronic learning (E-learning) course component that has already been reviewed by EPA. A list of organizations with previously reviewed courses appears below. Through this process, EPA will issue to the training provider a separate accreditation number specifying that the provider is accredited for E-learning. This process only allows the applicant to add E-learning as a new delivery method for the in-person lecture material; the expedited process may not be used by training providers to make other changes to their accreditation, e.g., does not allow for changes to hands-on activities, student-to-teacher ratio, facility information, or permanent location vs. traveling trainer location. To make these changes, please contact the appropriate regional lead coordinator. Learn more.

Courses from the Following Organizations Have Been Previously Reviewed by EPA

Please note: Although the courses created by these organizations have been reviewed by EPA, an accredited training provider MUST apply through the expedited review process specified above in order to become accredited to teach any of these courses.
