For initial mitigation training which is completed using an approved online training course, a "hands-on" or "field" portion to the mitigation training is required to be provided by a mentor who is a certified Radon Mitigation Technician. If the field training is provided within Kansas, the mentor must be Kansas-certified. If the field training is provided out of state, the mentor must be certified by the NRPP or NRSB, or another Kansas-approved state.
The Mentor Checklist for Field-Based Radon Mitigation Training (PDF) is required to be completed and submitted to KDHE as part of the initial application for certification as a radon mitigation technician, in conjunction with the documentation of the online training course and the successful passage of the NRPP or NRSB examination.
Currently, the examinations offered by the National Radon Safety Board and/or the National Radon Proficiency Program for radon measurement and mitigation are approved by KDHE. Other examinations will be approved on a case-by-case basis.
