USEPA in “Spotlight: Successful Approaches for Reducing Radon Risk, noted the success of the North Carolina radon program, in partnership with the NC Cancer Control Branch, in developing a four-hour real estate continuing education (CE) course for licensed real estate brokers. During this reporting cycle, 24 live online classes were conducted. Licensed real estate schools and the NC Cooperative Extension Service hosted the classes taught by the NC Radon Program Coordinator. More than 350 licensed real estate brokers completed the course. The development of this CE course is vital to promote radon testing and mitigation and providing resources during real estate transactions by providing the necessary tools to the real estate brokers.
