The National Director of AHERA Accredited Courses (the 'Course Directory') contains information about training providers and approved courses nationwide and is meant to serve as a comprehensive reference and resource document. It will also be useful for those training providers who offer accredited asbestos courses and to all consumers of these training services. The data is organized in a readable and convenient format designed to provide the following benefits: a standardized nomenclature for both federal and state approved training course listings; a simplified and streamlined presentation of information through an integrated design format, presenting one listing for each provider entity; and the elimination of redundancies between separate State and EPA Regional lists of approved training providers and courses.
