Radiography Courses

Industrial Radiographer Radiation Safety

 

This 40-hour class is intended to meet State and Federal regulatory requirements for initial training to practice radiography with radioactive materials.  An examination will be given at the end of the course. 

 

This 40 Hour Basic Radiation Safety Class is held in 4 ten hour days. When you complete the class you will be considered a trainee by the State of Oklahoma and all NRC and agreement states.
