Lightning Protection Installation Training
Basic Certification Course

Here is an opportunity to learn and become certified in the proper way to implement lightning protection at your radio communication sites.  The level of Basic Certification is achieved in two steps.  The first step involves the active participation in the course as outlined below and the achievement of a passing grade in the examination at the end of the course.  The second step involves selecting and remediating a communications site with known problems and submitting the required documentation relating to the extent and quality of the worked performed.  The documentation will be reviewed and if all requirements have been met, you will have earned your Basic Certification.
