Please Note: Your state has detailed education, experience and application processing requirements to qualify for licensing in the Asbestos field. Most states administer their own asbestos programs, and each state's Department of Environmental Protection/Health is generally the best place to start with questions about requirements and training. Students are responsible to verify these requirements and reciprocity prior to registering for a course.
This Asbestos Building Inspector Initial training course accredits individuals to assess the condition of asbestos material and report the results. Any person who performs the tasks involved in the asbestos survey, identification and assessment of the condition of asbestos and asbestos material, or who is involved in the collection of bulk samples of asbestos material for laboratory analysis, needs this training.
Training for asbestos abatement professionals is required under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA), which is the authority under which EPA issued the EPA Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan. This course has been granted full approval by the EPA and various States to meet AHERA and ASHARA accreditation requirements for asbestos work in K-12 schools, as well as in public and commercial buildings.
OSHA requires that all surfacing material - (i.e. sprayed-on or trowled-on materials) and all thermal systems insulation must be presumed to be asbestos containing materials (PACM) in buildings constructed before 1981. OSHA also requires that in these same buildings, all vinyl, resilient, and asphaltic flooring, and the associated mastics and backings must be assumed to be asbestos containing. Only laboratory analysis of samples obtained by a trained and certified asbestos building inspector can rebut OSHAs position on PACM or flooring in buildings constructed before 1981. Building owners, and those involved with construction activities, must identify all asbestos containing materials in the areas of construction via due diligence.
An Asbestos Inspector must possess a valid Inspector certificate and have a copy of their certificate with them at all times while working on the project. This workshop prepares you to immediately apply your knowledge to the field, with extensive hands-on training and real-world examples from experienced instructors. It combines lectures, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations.
Topics To Be Covered Include:
- Types and Uses of Asbestos
- Potential Health Effects of Asbestos Exposure
- Federal and State Regulatory Framework
- Function, Qualifications, and Role of Inspectors
- Building Systems
- Public/Employee/Building Occupant Relations
- Pre-Inspection Planning

Great Course, the videos and live instruction time with Jim are very informative. Alberto was very helpful with anything we had questions with and helping understand the importance of doing every job thoroughly. The only feedback I would have is staying on a schedule/having an agenda, as a student it is very helpful to know what topics we will be discussing per day and at what times. David N.

I completed both the Asbestos Inspector and Environmental Management classes last week. When I arrived at the Baymeadows location for my week-long course, I was welcomed and met two individuals who helped me with whatever I needed to be successful.
The course format was different from what I’m used to since everything was presented in a movie format. While I enjoyed watching the videos, there were times I preferred having a face-to-face instructor. Nonetheless, the instructor was excellent—answering all my questions and even providing scenarios to help us better understand each procedure.
Overall, I’d rate the week-long class an 8/10. Thanks so much to everyone who helped me get certified. See you all next year! Farid H.

The material covered was very informative and i took away a good understanding of Asbestos. The format in which it was taught was good, however I would have liked a little hands on training. I feel confident that I can perform the necessary job duties at my place of employment from the knowledge I acquired. I would recommend this training to others. John D.

The site staff administration—Leon—was fantastic. The trainer—Jim —was wonderful, with great experience and advice brought to the classroom. Jim opened up the subject matter well and unpacked everything for me to understand the nuts and bolts of the agencies and laws involved. I believe that he trained me to be able to equip myself for inspections and for analysis and sampling of materials —each very well. Thank you, Jim and Leon! Pete R.

The class was very interesting (mostly thanks to the instructor because he’s hilarious yet extremely knowledgeable!). The course material was easy to follow, and I was a complete novice with anything related to Asbestos before the class. Great job by Jim and team, and I’d highly recommend this course for anyone interested in Asbestos Inspections. A+++ Julie F.

Building attendant arrived late everyday that class was in session. It is wrote on our arrival instructions to arrive 10 minutes early but when the door is locked and no one that works there shows up to unlock the doors until after 8:30 is an issue. Breaks were very sporadic and often not given until 30 minutes before lunch and also right before the class ended for the day. Class materials are very out dated and I am sure that some regulations have been updated since 1990's and the discussions pertaining to these materials is choppy and one topic is not completed before another completely different subject is started then you go back to the previous topic, which causes confusion in the class. It would also be nice to physically learn how to take the bulk samples rather than only having an hour long discussion on this topic. Barry I.
