Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Lead Inspector Refresher - Seagull

This one day Lead Inspector Refresher training provides a review of information on lead-based paint, water and soil inspections and sampling, including clearance testing for lead abatement projects. The HUD Lead-Safe User Guide, Chapter 7 (1995,1996, & 2012) are reviewed.

Those working in industrial or public building settings other than target housing or child occupied facilities, generally, do not need government certification or licensing. All that is required is your training certificate achieved in this class.

Federal and/or State Certification and Licensing

Those wishing to inspect or conduct clearance 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/licenses and previous state third-party examinations toward EPA certification/licensure.

Federal Certification/Licensing

Seagull will obtain a state license in your behalf as long as your existing certifications/licenses are current. This state license is used to apply for your federal license. EPA no longer accepts applications by mail. All applications must be online. Seagull will lead you through the process.

State Certification/Licensing

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

Seagull training is accepted by NC and many other states. Contact us with any questions regarding other states.

Licensing Requirements (Fed or State)

• Certification Prerequisites: Must have current state or federal license. There is no grace period after expiration.
• Application Process: After your refresher training, you will receive a refresher 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 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.
