The course includes practical experience in examining and documenting sources of, and controlling, lead dust and lead debris. A course completion certificate and Maryland photo identification card are provided for each student upon successful completion of the course.

I appreciated the instructor's passion for the industry and his experience of the field. I think more hands-on learning activities like the games that strengthen knowledge of industry terms and dust wipe sampling activities would help newbies in the field get even more understanding. Robert M.
