Certification

Candidate firm’s certified professionals must have extensive experience, plus pass appropriate college-level written examinations and demonstrate a practical working knowledge and proficiency in the use of instruments required for the various disciplines. Once having met NEBB’s requirements for certification, a firm must be reviewed and renewed every two years through a recertification process. In addition, each firm must possess a complete set of instrumentation which are in current calibration. Qualified certified professionals must have twelve hours of continuing education in order to maintain certification.

NEBB certified firms also have the option of training and qualifying technicians through the NEBB Technician program. This is another step in NEBB’s continuing pledge to supply highly trained individuals to perform duties in each discipline.
