NRPP Radon Measurement Field Technician Exam Requirements, Fees and Registration

The NRPP now offers two new certifications: the Radon Measurement Field Technician (RMFT) and Radon Mitigation Installer (RMI). Please note that you must be able to meet the oversight requirements listed below in order to obtain the Measurement Field Technician or Mitigation Installer certification.
** These new exams and certifications are not currently recognized by licensing states. Please contact your state radon program for more information.

Radon Measurement Field Technician (RMFT)
The NRPP Radon Measurement Field Technician Certification is designed for staff members who deploy and retrieve approved measurement devices and ensure building conditions for residential radon testing and assessment. A Certified RMFT must work under the general supervision and QA/QC oversight of a Certified Measurement Professional within the same company. You can find more information about prerequisites for this certification here: types of certification. We also recommend reviewing our candidate handbook for more information.

For all licensed states, please check with your state’s radon program to determine their exam and licensing requirements.

It is important to study the following ANSI-AARST Radon Standards:
Measurement Exam: MAH-2023 and MS-QA-2023
Mitigation Exam: SGM-SF-2017 with 12/2020 REVISIONS and MAH-2019
(exam candidates will be provided access to these standards within the exam platform during their exam.)

All NRPP exams are proctored remotely online through a live proctoring platform called Certiverse. Exam candidates will present their Government-issued photo ID. The Proctor will explain exam rules and instruct test-takers to perform a 360-degree room scan to confirm the workspace is free of any unauthorized materials. Exam sessions are recorded from start to finish and any suspicious behavior will be flagged. Once completed, the exam recording is audited for quality control. Once audited, test-takers receive their exam results via email within 48-72 business hours. You may purchase exam study guides here: Student Study Guides. If you need to retake an exam or schedule an additional exam, you will need to return to this website to purchase another exam prior to scheduling with Certiverse. If you would like to request special exam accommodations due to a disability, please fill out and submit our special accommodations form here: special accommodations form.
