INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRAINING PROGRAMS APPLYING FOR ACCREDITATION OF LEADBASED PAINT ACTIVITIES COURSES

You may apply to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for accreditation or reaccreditation of a lead-based paint initial course(s) and/or refresher course(s) in either Lead
Abatement or Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP).
Under lead abatement, EPA offers accreditation for training providers in the following
disciplines: Inspector, Supervisor, Risk Assessor, Project Designer, or Abatement Worker.
Under lead RRP, EPA offers national accreditation to training providers in the following two
disciplines: Renovator and Dust Sampling Technician.
EPA offers accreditation in states, U.S. territories, and all Indian tribal land(s) where EPA
directly implements the lead-based paint accreditation program. If EPA does not administer the
accreditation program in an area you wish to conduct training, you must apply directly to that
state, territory, or Indian tribe for accreditation.
These instructions supplement OMB approved form No. 2070-0155, Accreditation Application
for Training Providers.
Please note that you must use a separate application form for each application type (i.e., initial
accreditation, re-accreditation, amending accreditation, or replacement of a certificate).
For example, if you are applying for initial accreditation for lead RRP as a renovator and dust
sampling technician, and re-accreditation in two lead abatement disciplines you must submit two
separate application forms for the initial accreditation and re-accreditation requests.
How to Apply for Initial Accreditation
To apply for accreditation of a training program[s], please provide the following:
1) Complete, sign and date the Accreditation Application for Training Providers (OMB form
No. 2070-0155).
2) 	 Calculate the appropriate fee using the fees schedule provided with these instructions.
3) Provide education, experience, and other documents for the Training Program Manager
and Principal Course Instructor.
4) 	 Enclose the following materials with your application for each course for which you apply
(see detailed discussion of each item later in this document):
a. 	 Description of training facilities and hands-on training equipment;
b. 	 Course test blueprint;
c. 	 Description of activities and procedures for conducting the hands-on skills
assessment; and
d. Quality control plan(s), described in 40 CFR § 745.225(c)(9). 

5) Indicate whose course materials you will use:
	
a. 	 EPA model training materials. Enclose a copy of the first five pages of the
instructor and student manuals that are being used for each course for which
you’ve applied.
b. 	 EPA-authorized state, Indian tribe approved or your own. For all course
materials that are not EPA model training enclose a complete copy of the student
and instructor manuals, or other materials to be used, for each course for which
you’ve applied. Additionally, provide a copy of the agenda for each course.

Note: When applying for accreditation of a course in a language other than English,
include a signed statement from a qualified, independent translator that the course
was compared to the English language version and found to be accurate.
6) Print “Lead Program Users Fees” on the check or money order for the fee[s] and mail it
with your application to the following address:
U.S. EPA 

Lead User Fees 

P.O. Box 979072 

St. Louis, MO 63197-9000 

Training Facilities, Hands-on Training Equipment, Class Size and Student Instructor
Ratio
Provide an inventory of all training materials that will be used to conduct hands-on activities for
each course for which you are applying, or a note indicating that the materials will be used for
more than one course.
Provide a detailed description of each facility to be used for the lecture, course test, hands-on
training, and assessment activities including a floor diagram and room dimensions.
Class size should be limited to 25, with a maximum of one instructor for every 6 students during
the hands-on exercises. Should you plan on class sizes exceeding 25, or higher
student/instructor ratio, then provide an explanation as to how you plan to adequately observe
and direct hands-on activities. You need to conduct your classes using the class size and
hands-on ratios that are approved with your application. If you want to change them you need
to contact the regional office that approved your application.
If you plan to provide training at non-permanent facilities (like a hotel, or any facility that you do
not own or maintain) then, in addition to the above, submit a description of the criteria you will
use when selecting a training site.
Training Manager and Principal Instructor Qualifications
In Sections C and D of the application you must indicate that the training program manager and
principal instructor(s) meet certain education, training and work experience requirements. You
must submit the supporting documentation regarding the qualifications, such as resumes or
transcripts, with the application.
Course Test Blueprint
Provide a copy of the course test blueprint for each course for which you are applying. The
course test blueprint is a written document identifying the proportion of course test questions
devoted to each major topic in the course curriculum. You should not submit a copy of the
course test.
For an initial course, the course test blueprint should use the course topics established in
745.225(d) to identify the proportion of course test questions which should be devoted to each
topic.

For a refresher course, the course test blueprint should use the course topics established in
745.225(e)(1) to identify the proportion of course test questions which should be devoted to
each topic.
Description of Activities and Procedures for Conducting the Hands-on Skills Assessment
Include a description of the activities and procedures that will be used for conducting the
assessment of hands-on skills for each course for which you are applying. This should include:
1) the list of hands-on topics covered in the course, 2) the activities performed for each handson topic, and 3) the method to determine the trainee’s ability to perform each of the hands-on
activities.
Quality Control Plan
Include a copy of the quality control plan. The plan should contain at least the following
elements:
1. 	 Procedures for periodic revision of training materials and the course test to reflect
innovations in the field and regulatory changes made by EPA.
2. 	 Procedures for the training manager's annual review of principal instructor competency.
In situations where the training manager and principal instructor are the same person an
objective review of the principle instructor’s performance is not possible. In such a case,
alternative evaluation methods should be discussed (i.e., student evaluations &
feedback, peer review, etc.).
3. 	 For Renovator and Dust Sampling Technician disciplines, an acknowledgement that the
trainer understands and will comply with the following items (these items are described
in detail at www.epa.gov/lead/trainerinstructions.htm):

	 Notification requirements and digital photograph submission instructions
	 Recordkeeping requirements
	 Course completion certificate requirements and unique identification number protocol
Training via Video Conference and/or Video Recording.
If you plan to provide training using a video conference and/or video recording of lecture
materials, you should include information on how you plan to conduct the training in the Quality
Control Plan. The Quality Control Plan should explain how the course will be delivered and how
the video conference technology and/or video recordings will be used in the delivery. The list
below contains examples of the information to be included in the Quality Control Plan:
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	

The course(s) that will use video conferencing
A list of equipment that will be used for each skill set
Description of how the instructors and students will interact during the training
The location of the instructor during the training
The number of students expected at each site
Materials that will be distributed
Description of how the course test and hands-on skills assessment will be conducted
Description of how student photos will be taken
Site selection criteria for non-permanent training sites
Any other pertinent information

Note that the hands-on portion of the training must be done using the proper equipment for each
skill set. The hands-on portion and the course test should be given with a principal instructor or
guest instructor physically present. Also, the principal instructor is primarily responsible for
teaching the course materials and must be present to provide instruction (or oversight of
portions of the course taught by guest instructors) for the course for which he has been
designated the principal instructor. Therefore, the principal instructors only involvement in the
course can’t be a video recording.
If you have already received accreditation to perform classroom training and want to conduct
training by video conference and/or video recording, you should submit an amended training
provider application to EPA indicating such and include an updated quality control plan. You
should complete sections A (General Information), B (Applicant Information), H (Additional
Information) and I (Certification Statement) of the training provider application. Indicate in
section H that you are amending your accreditation to include delivery by video conferencing.
You do not need to submit a fee with your amendment.
Training Via Electronic-Learning Format
If you plan to offer training in an electronic-learning (E-learning) format, select “Accreditation
application” in section “A”. Write “E-learning” in the text field labeled “Courses in electroniclearning format, or a language other than English” and select the appropriate course(s) in the
boxes provided. You may also apply to offer E-learning courses in a language other than
English by entering this information in the same test box (e.g. E-learning in Spanish).
To offer E-learning you must read the implementation guidelines document entitled “Model
Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule E-learning Course Component Implementation
Requirements.” These guidelines are available at
http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/toolkits.htm#trainer and describe the implementation and
Learning Management System requirements for providing the E-learning component content.
In your Quality Control Plan, you must describe how you will meet each requirement set forth in
this document. If you do not fully address all the requirements your application will be
considered incomplete and you will be required to provide additional information potentially
delaying the approval process. You must include a copy of the E-learning training course you
will be offering in the form of a CD or by including a link to a webpage and user ID and
password for EPA access in the Quality Control Plan. This applies whether you are using the
model E-learning course or an alternative.
If you are applying to offer only E-learning modules with no in-class presentation of the lecture
material, you must indicate whether you will use permanent or non-permanent training facilities
for the required hands-on training activities, the in-person hands-on skills assessment and the
in-person final exam.
How to Apply for Re-accreditation
All training course accreditations expire every (4) years. To ensure that your training program
will be re-accredited before your current accreditation expires, you must submit your reaccreditation application no later than 180 days before the expiration date.
For re-accreditation complete only sections A (General Information), B (Applicant Information),
C (Qualifications of Training Program Manager), D (Qualifications of Principal Course
Instructor), E (Lead-Based Paint Activity or Renovation Violations) and I (Certification
Statement) of the application and follow the mailing instructions described in the “initial

accreditation” section of these instructions. You must also submit the following information with
your application:
• Qualifications of the training program manager
• Qualifications of the principal instructor(s)
• A description of any changes to the training facility, equipment or course materials since
your last application was approved that adversely affects the students' ability to learn.
Amended Application

If information included in a trainers most recent application to EPA changes, the training
program has 90 days to amend their accreditation. If an amendment is not submitted within 90
days the training program may not provide training until their accreditation is amended.
To amend an accreditation, simply complete the form “Accreditation Application for Training
Providers.” Be sure to check the box indicating the application is an amendment, include the
information that has changed, and the form must be signed by the training manager. When
adding a permanent training location you need to submit a photo(s) of the lecture area, a
photo(s) of each hands-on area, and a diagram of the training facilities including dimensions.
If the amendment includes a new training program manager, any new principal instructor(s), or
any new permanent training location(s), the training provider is not permitted to provide training
under the new training manager or offer courses taught by any new principal instructor(s) or at
the new training location(s) until EPA either approves the amendment or 30 days have elapsed,
whichever occurs earlier. Except:
o If the amendment includes a new training program manager or principal
instructor that was already approved under another EPA training program
accreditation, the training provider may provide training under the new training
manager or offer courses taught by the new principal instructor on an interim
basis as soon as the provider submits the amendment to EPA. The training
provider may continue to provide training under the new training manager or offer
courses taught by the new principal instructor if EPA approves the amendment or
if EPA does not disapprove the amendment within 30 days.
o If the amendment includes a new permanent training location, the training
provider may begin to provide training at the new permanent training location on
an interim basis as soon as the provider submits the amendment to EPA. The
training provider may continue to provide training at the new permanent training
location if EPA approves the amendment or if EPA does not disapprove the
amendment within 30 days.
Amended applications must be sent to the following address:
U.S. EPA
P.O. Box 14417
Washington DC 20044-4417
Replacement of a Certificate
To replace a certificate, complete only sections A (General Information), B (Applicant
Information), and I (Certification Statement) of the application and follow the mailing instructions
described in the “initial accreditation” section of these instructions.

Incomplete Application
If any components of your application are missing, your application will become inactive for a
period not to exceed 30 days until the application is made complete. If you do not complete your
application, EPA will return the application package. You may apply again with a complete
package. Please call 1-800-424-LEAD to see if your application is complete.
Fees
The fee[s] for applying for accreditation, re-accreditation, and other requests are listed in the
following schedule. It is important that you:
1) Calculate the fee based on the number of discipline[s] and EPA-run jurisdiction[s] in
which you plan to operate.
a. If applying for lead abatement discipline accreditation, submit a $35 dollar fee
for Indian tribal land[s] located in each EPA Region, (e.g., if applying for
accreditation in multiple Indian Tribal lands located in Region 5 and Region 7 you
must pay a $35 fee per Region, or a total of $70).
b. If applying for lead RRP discipline accreditation, there is NO jurisdictional fee –
the accreditation or re-accreditation fee is a National Accreditation for all
jurisdictions where EPA administers the program.
2) Write your total fee amount in Section A of the application, even if you attach additional
sheets of paper listing additional EPA-run jurisdictions for lead abatement disciplines.
3) Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Other methods of payment include wire transfer, electronic funds transfer, and, for
government payers, online payment agency collection (OPAC).
