The use of radioactive materials in industry, research, and medicine has created a need for many facilities to perform routine air sampling in both the workplace and the environment. To help meet the need for trained personnel in this area, ORAU developed the – Air Sampling for Radioactive Materials Online Training.

The course includes 14 self-paced modules and 12 pre-recorded videos designed to demonstrate the equipment, techniques, and procedures used to collect and analyze air samples. The videos provide an unobstructed view of the instructors conducting each exercise and processing the data that is collected. This course is expected to take 40 hours to complete.

To complete the course, you will be required to pass an exam. A passing score is 70 out of 100. You will have three attempts to successfully complete the exam. A certificate of completion will be provided upon successful completion of the exam. Course materials are available on the ORAU PTP Learning Management System (LMS).

PTP instructors will be available via email, phone, or Microsoft Teams to answer questions and provide assistance when needed.
