NCHH is seeking qualified principal instructors who wish to conduct Certified Lead Renovator training under NCHH's EPA accreditation. Principal instructors are responsible for the marketing of training, recruitment of students, and oversight of the teaching of all course material.
All instructors must sign a written agreement with NCHH before they can teach the Certified Renovator Class under NCHH's accreditation. NCHH does not restrict instructors from delivering training for other accredited training providers. NCHH will pursue state accreditation or help the instructor become state-accredited on a case-by-case basis.
NCHH charges a fee for these services of $120 per training course held, plus $15 per student in the course. Selected course materials (such as student manuals, cleaning verification cards, and lead swabs) are available in the RRP webstore as a one-stop shop for the convenience of the instructors (note that the cleaning verification cards are only available to members of the NCHH RRP network).
NCHH requires the following from each potential qualified instructor:

NCHH encourages trainers to get a better understanding of the supplies needed to comply with the rule. Take the paint retailers free online training on the rule, lead-safe work practices, and the products that their customers will need. Thanks to the Indiana State Department of Health for funding to make the training possible and the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) for hosting the training.
