Our training catalog includes the 24-hour and more in-depth 40-hour radiation safety course designed for those stepping into Radiation Safety Officer positions.

The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) training online option supports users who prefer remote learning while still meeting core competency requirements. Participants who complete the program can also receive formal recognition through our Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) certification course, which may be valuable for audits, licensing updates, or employment documentation. We also offer radiation protection certification, which is well-suited for individuals responsible for program development, internal audits, or regulatory compliance across medical, industrial, or academic environments.

Radiation Safety Officer Training Courses

Radiation Safety Training (RSO)

Organizations seeking to streamline training for new hires or fulfill license renewal obligations often turn to programs like the Radiation Safety Officer course to support internal compliance workflows. These courses help safety personnel prepare for handling inspections, maintain accurate records, and follow protocol-driven reporting.

For teams operating in multi-site or contract-based environments, the flexibility of the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) training online format helps reduce travel delays and scheduling issues. When paired with a recognized Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) certification course, participants can meet training expectations while supporting licensing or audit requirements. The availability of the 24-hour and 40-hour radiation safety course offers practical choices for annual refreshers or first-time RSO appointments. Facilities may also reference a radiation protection certification when assigning responsibilities or organizing documentation for internal program reviews.

TESTIMONIALS

This online Radiation Training class was very convenient for me to be able to get Certified from my own office. You can complete topics and lessons in your spare time, at your own pace, and still receive a comparable education on this very important topic. The training module is well made, intuitive, and very informative. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who needs this Radiation Training, but does not have the time to travel to an in-person class.
