Welcome to the Western Regional Radon Training Center at the University of Colorado. This site contains information about our course offerings, certifications, staff, and other programs.

   The Western Regional Radon Training Center was created as a consequence of the Indoor Radon Abatement Act, approved by Congress in the late 1980's. The center was moved by Region 8 EPA in 1995 to the campus of the University of Colorado and Colorado Springs, where it still resides, and Dr. James F. Burkhart was named its director. The Western Regional Radon Training Center (WRRTC) has offered many specialized courses in radon (i.e.; radon in water, radon reduction systems for new homes, measurement and mitigation courses for school personnel, etc.). You will also find that we offer a variety of on-line, video, and mail courses for professionals needing continuing education credits for NEHA and/or NRSB certifications.

   Our Radon measurement and mitigation courses are routinely offered on the campus at the University of Colorado, located in Colorado Springs. The campus is conveniently located near motels, shopping, and famous tourist attractions (Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods park, and the Air Force Academy, to name a few). We are Only a few minutes off of Interstate I-25 on Austin Bluffs Parkway. Parking for radon students is free and the classroom, located in the Engineering Building, is only a few minutes walk from the parking lot.
