The Training Network, Inc., an EPA-Accredited Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) Training Provider, is a nationally recognized organization that provides Lead-Safe Work Practices training throughout the USA. Since 2003, our team has trained over 19,000 individuals in the 2003 Joint EPA/HUD Lead-Based Paint Training Program for Renovators and Remodelers.

After April 2010, a new federal law will require Contractors who perform renovation, repairs, and painting jobs in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities to become EPA Lead Certified Renovators.  The Training Network, Inc. is pleased to announce that we are launching two new training courses that will enable Contractors and Renovators to satisfy the new Federal requirement:

·       An Initial course for those who have not completed previous Lead-Safe training

·       A Refresher course for those who were previously certified

 The Initial course is a one-day course that will provide the training necessary to satisfy the Federal requirement. The Initial course will last approximately nine hours,

The Refresher course is targeted to those individuals who previously completed the 2003 Joint EPA/HUD Lead-Based Paint Training Program for Renovators and Remodelers.  It will include the latest updates to material covered in the previous course, and will satisfy the new Federal requirement. The Refresher course will last approximately four and one-half hours.

These courses are primarily directed towards renovation, repair, and painting contractors to teach them how to work safely in facilities with lead-based paint, and to comply with both EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, and HUD's Lead Safe Housing Rule.  The courses are also valuable to people who work in state and municipal agencies, community and social service organizations, and home (or code) inspection companies.  The information presented in the training will be beneficial to others in the housing industry, including sales, marketing and administrative personnel as well as workers and supervisory staff.

The Training Network, Inc. will provide all classroom and hands-on materials. We will also provide the EPA with official notification that individuals have completed the training courses.

Anyone requiring this training is invited to attend. If you have an interested group at your location, or would like to sponsor a training event, but do not see a conveniently scheduled class date, please contact us to arrange a special presentation. We will be happy to accommodate your request.
