I recently completed the Lead Paint Certification Course with Zack Academy, and I must say it was a highly professional, clear, and valuable experience.
The instructor, Joseph, was experienced, explained both the theoretical and practical aspects thoroughly, and answered every question patiently and in detail.
The course was well-organized, with high-quality learning materials and a strong focus on safety, regulations, and legal understanding – all of which are crucial in our line of work.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who needs certification for lead-based paint work, especially professionals in construction, renovation, and restoration.

As a landlord, I am very concerned about the safety of my tenants. This class checked all my boxes for what I needed to know. The classroom atmosphere was relaxed, yet fast-paced to cover all goals of the class. The hands-on portion really helped to make me feel secure on how to prepare and make sure contractors were preparing space for disturbing paint areas that might contain lead paint.. I encourage every landlord to take this class. Jared K.

I recently completed the Lead Renovator Certification Initial course with ProActive Safety Services, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and made a potentially complex topic easy to understand.
They explained all the regulations and procedures clearly, using real-world examples and hands-on demonstrations that really helped solidify my understanding. The class was well-organized, informative, and engaging from start to finish.
I now feel confident and well-prepared to apply what I’ve learned on the job. I highly recommend ProActive Safety Services and their instructors to anyone needing Lead Renovator training. This was a valuable and worthwhile experience! Hannah H.

This class was a good balance of fun and learning. There was a lot of material to cover in those eight hours, but there were videos and hands-on activities to break up the monotony. We were allowed breaks at our own pace, and the exam was suitable, given the material we were taught. Carlos Josue C.

The RRP Project Binder & Tutorial is an optional record-keeping tool that is perfect for
compiling and retaining all required documents to be in compliance with the EPA Renovation
Repair and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745). The Binder is the essential tool for
step-by-step instructions on "how to" complete forms and letters that are included in the
Renovation Repair and Painting Rule Project Binder. It is recommended that each renovation
project retain a Project Binder & Tutorial on-site for the duration of the project. The
Project Binder is to be retained after the completion of the project for a period of three
years, accessible by the EPA for possible spontaneous audit.
For those working in EPA-authorized states including AL, DE, GA, IA, KS, MA, MS, NC, OK, OR, RI, UT, WA or WI there may be additional or alternate record-keeping requirements from what is presented in the RRP Project Binder. Please check with your local and state lead programs to confirm the work practices and record-keeping required for RRP work in your area. The following forms are incorporated into the Project Binder:
The Environmental Protection Agency has begun enforcement of lead-related issues within the residential construction industry. Reports of violations and fines are being released constantly. The primary violation is non-compliance of required paperwork.  |
