Would you like to take a course and receive up to $750 in earning potential from the supplies you receive?
This Radon Measurement Technician course will teach individuals the methods that are used in radon testing for real estate purposes. This course will also explore how and where to market your new professional service, and how to explain to your client the next step after the initial radon test.

I attended the Radon Technician Certification course last week in Fort Myers, Florida. My instructor was Jim. I am happy to say I did pass the Florida exam and will now be a licensed Radon Technician.
Although the amount of information absorbed during the short duration of the class was almost overwhelming, Jim did a fine job of explaining the material. He was friendly, helpful, and answered all my questions. He tried to put everybody as ease since, of course, "passing the exam" was on everyone's mind. The take home practice exam was a bear and very detailed; however, it forced me to really delve into the material. Jim helped go over the answers and explain anything that was unclear prior to the Florida exam.
I am glad I studied the Florida Radon Certification Program manual prior to the class and attended Jim's class to solidify the studied material. I would definitely recommend the class for anybody who is interested in taking the Florida Radon Certification exam.
