In today’s world certification is the buzz word. More and more regulatory agencies and authorities are requiring inspectors, instructors, and facilitators to be certified by a recognized national or international certifying body. To address this need within the industry, the PRCA offers formal certifications for professional course inspectors and staff instructors.
These Certification programs are not training events to learn these various skills; rather they are a PRCA formal testing of your skills and knowledge to perform these valuable services to our industry. The certification programs address the various applicable industry standards and regulatory issues including ANSI, ASTM, OSHA and of course the comprehensive ANSI/PRCA 1.0-.3-2024 American National Safety Standards for our industry.
The PRCA Inspector Certification is the most comprehensive Inspector assessment program in the country. The program includes regular written testing (such as AIMS, NAARSO, and ACCT) but goes beyond, to require tactile, real course inspection assessment and a comprehensive report.
Certification programs are offered annually at the PRCA International Conference and other selective dates and locations upon special request.
