According to the Kentucky regulations (http://www.lrc.ky.gov/kar/902/095/040.htm), a person shall be eligible to be certified as a radon measurement contractor or a radon mitigation contractor if the individual submits to the state:

• An application;
• Verification of completion of an AARST-NRPP course and exam;
• Fees; and
• A quality assurance plan.
