Professional Development
Continuing Education for Occupational Water and Radiation Workers
While there is no substitute for face-to-face instruction, most of our courses can be taken 100% online. Our courses are practical, credential-focused training programs delivered by professional health physicists with decades of real-world operational experience. The RSO course offerings meet the requirements of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agreement States, and the US Department of Transportation. For those wanting in-person, live interactions, we can make arrangements to provide the training at your facility or at a conference room proximal to your location. Our regularly scheduled class-ups are offered at one of two locations along the Virginia Beach oceanfront; both locations offer excellent options for dining and entertainment. We also offer virtual training formats for clients who have remote team members in multiple locations.
