I am located in Georgia but might move to another state soon. Does the EPA regulate asbestos inspector licenses? Is there a course you can take online? Any other tips? Thanks.

I would like to hear from an actual asbestos inspector.

    Each state has its own program. You really need the asbestos inspector and asbestos management planner licenses together in today’s job market. The class takes a week and then you have to apprentice under a licensed inspector for a certain number of inspections. The number will vary by state. Then you apply for the license.

    I moved to NC from VA several years ago and I maintain my licenses in VA. How certain states view other state’s licenses varies if you try to switch. No matter what state you do the work, you must have a license in that state that is current, so I don’t do NC jobs.

    USEPA only sets the regulations for the training required and along with states approves the training. The license work is strictly a state function. I even believe DC has a separate program. I suggest you find a company in the state you are going and give them a call.
