What is the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP)?

The NRPP provides certification credentials for professional radon testers and mitigators. As an independent administrative program of the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists, Inc. (AARST), the NRPP holds the ISO 17024 ANAB accreditation and is governed by a Certification Council consisting of radon industry stakeholders who are responsible for credentialing policies and procedures.

The NRPP Credential Enables You to:

• Increase your Marketability and Competitive Advantage.
  Having an NRPP Certification helps you to standout and showcase your experience in being responsible and in charge of radon measurement and/or mitigation services, and that you can provide resolutions in your client’s best interests.
  
• Display your Competency and Professionalism.
  The NRPP Certification is a sign of professional achievement and will help you validate to clients and supervisors that you’re dedicated to quality workmanship and that you are part of an elite group of qualified industry experts.

  As an NRPP-Certified Professional, you are required to maintain your standing by staying up to date with industry best practices, abiding by ANSI-AARST Standards of Practice and adhering to the NRPP code of ethics.
