Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Lead Abatement Worker Certification Initial - Seagull

This 2 Day Lead Abatement Worker Certification Initial training provides information and hands-on activities for workers dealing with lead. EPA Model course materials are incorporated. This course covers requirements for target housing and child-occupied facilities, as well as, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 (Lead in Construction Rule).

Federal and/or State Certification and Licensing

Those wishing to work in target housing or child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must achieve a federal or state certification/license, depending on the state(s) where they intend to work.

For those wishing to achieve either a federal or state license, or both, the following is exceedingly important:

No training provider, of which we are aware, is approved for all courses in all locations for lead activities. Seagull will aid you in navigating through the maze of approvals, certifications and/or licenses needed resulting from the varied laws, rules, and regulations of states and the federal government. It is important to note that no course certification or license, state or federal, is accepted everywhere for target housing and child-occupied facilities.

Seagull’s package training saves our students time, effort, and frustration.

40 EPA authorized states have their own, unique programs requiring certification or licensure. Many of these states do NOT accept EPA training or that of other authorized states.  

The remaining states are EPA-Controlled (NY, SC, FL, MT, SD, WY, ID, NV, AZ, NM, AK). EPA DOES accept current authorized state certifications/ toward EPA certification/licensure.

Federal Certification/Licensing

When applying to EPA, it is much, much simpler to license with a state, then, use that state license to get your EPA license and Seagull will submit your paperwork for you.

State Certification/Licensing

Seagull training is directly approved by GA, AL, TN, IL, UT, and PA

Seagull training is accepted by NC and many other states.

Licensing Requirements (Fed or State)

• Certification Prerequisites: None
• Third-Party Exams: None Required
• Application Process: After your initial training, you will receive an interim certificate that will be used to get your state license (all arranged by Seagull).
• For EPA Certifications Only: A few days after your state license is issued, you will receive by mail or email a scan of your state license, a digital photo and instructions on how to apply for your EPA license online.

Students are responsible to verify these requirements prior to registering for a course. There are numerous reciprocity agreements with EPA and other states with authorized lead-based paint programs. Your state may accept training for certification programs from those training providers accredited by EPA or other state authorized programs. Because reciprocity agreements are subject to change, it is strongly recommended that you contact your state's lead program before taking training from an outside source.
