TestimonialsRSO Classes in 2007Great course! The instructors are very knowledgeable and provided real world situations that apply to all industries. Practical knowledge is given without a lot of theory. Carl Overstreet It was a very good course. Although I am from a small research institution, I now understand the possible problems with day-to-day work with radioactivity. Teresa Duda All of the staff here have been very helpful and friendly. The information will be quite useful and as a result of what I have learned here I will be able to do my job with confidence. Kevin Sheehan Great presentation of information, presented in a relaxed environment, from an extremely knowledgeable staff, that can take the technical and make it understandable and want to provide usable solutions. Tim Lovley It’s a great place to meet experts in the business. Howard Fels The staff and accommodations were outstanding. Their combined knowledge of radiation is excellent. Mike Groff Fantastic!! The course provided me the exact information I was looking for. I am an Accelerator Physicist by trade and I always knew that I did not know the basics of dosimetry & radiation monitoring. The faculty Ray, Alan, Sean, & Kelly are great treasures. Mohit Nigam, PhD This course was phenomenal. RSA provided a solid, base understanding of radiation fundamentals, as well as problem solving techniques & approaches that we need to solve our own unique problems. I now feel 100% capable of my ability to perform my duties as RSO. Paul Edworthy Overall the course was great! The instructors were also great and presented their topics as simple as possible, as I was hoping. I am new as an RSO, and will see what information I may use at our facility. Louis Salinas Simply a great course for a new RSO. Very knowledgeable instructors and a fun learning atmosphere. Practical knowledge that can be put to use right away. Jeff Grischow This course made me feel more confident in understanding what I’m supposed to be doing as the new RSO. The manual is worth hauling back in my suitable 4,500 miles back to Alaska. Thanks! Tracey Martinson Ray Rocks! The course provided exceptional coverage of all aspects to effectively manage a radiation program. Thaddeus Williamson Practical learning and massive of positive information gained from instructors’ life experience in this field is the value of this course that provides actual learning and benefit for new RSO’s. Angel Mirza This class was very thorough and rather easy to understand due to contact and teaching style of the instructors. I had no background in the area of radiation before attending the class and have to say that I’ve gained great knowledge and feel very comfortable now in taking over the role of RSO within my company. Great job! Christel Kaiser You guys made a very technical subject east to understand. Ryan Emerson Although I have 20+ years of experience in the radiation field with cradle-to-grave operations of a major irradiator manufacturer, I recently re-entered this field after a 5-year hiatus. The Academy’s week-long RSO course served as an excellent refresher, and even added to my knowledge base with its in-depth coverage of instrumentation and x-ray theory/operation. I look forward to my future (Free) RSO Refresher course with the Academy and its friendly/knowledgeable staff. Tom Shepherd A great course to create a base for learning radiation safety. Christian Gregory I want to thank the Academy instructors and staff for a very in-depth and relevant RSO Course. This is by far the best 40hr. training I have received in my EH&S career. It has given me a broad scope view of the RSO responsibilities and a very detailed road map to successfully take on my new responsibilities. The peace of mind that the Academy Staff is there to assist with my future questions is priceless. Thanks! Rocio Harrelson This course was bar none the most tailored for and considerate of the needs of the students. I have been blown away at the personable staff and the attention and dedication to customer service which they display. This course truly sets the standard for customer service in professional training courses. No detail overlooked! Joseph Bowers If you are a newly assigned RSO, this class will provide the basics for you to perform your new duties efficiently and effectively. Robert F. Errera Thanks for the excellent class. I really appreciate the small class size and opportunity for lots of questions and discussions. Milenda Powers Extremely competent course directors and trainers.

This course is guaranteed to get you on the right track. Alan Rockwell I came to this RSO course as a cross training to my hazmat experience. But I’ve come away from this with a huge desire to learn more related to the entire health physics field. Thanks to the great level of instruction! Kerry Slaven If you want to be an RSO this is the one school to answer your needs. The staff is first rate and their program is amazing! Don’t hesitate, you need this training. Andson Harrison I would recommend this course to anyone interested in Radiation. The Radiation Safety Academy well exceeded my expectations by all means. I found the class environment relaxing, the jokes were great, and the instructors were the best. The materials provided were and are going to be very helpful. I feel confident about the Radiation Safety Academy and what I’ve learned. The staff has made me feel “only one phone call away.” I look forward to taking other classes and growing a business relationship with the Radiation Safety Academy. Lore Day I knew little about radiation safety and nothing about Radiation Safety Academy before my RSO Course. I was impressed with both the course and the organization. Steven Collins Well worth the time. The Academy goes far and beyond what any other class I have taken to make you feel at home. Did not see one nodding head the whole week. Wayde Klapp Radiation Safety Academy has provided me with the ability to ask the right questions when I take over the position of RSO. Jay Davenport Excellent program for anyone new to radiation safety. Frank Lengel This course and provided manual was well put together. Instructors are knowledgeable. As far as the population of the class and the information covered, it was a well balanced course. Larry Stippich Coming fresh out of college and having minimal work experience in the field I was a little worried of some of the tasks my job requires. However, going through this course it is one less worry I can take off my plate. I feel comfortable and qualified to take over the RSO position thanks to the academy. Nathan Steele This was the perfect blend of theory and application presented by consummate professionals! Elise Batteiger Essential for the new RSO. Aaron Miller I normally turn down any and all opportunities to write; however this course was excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone. Possibly the best 40 hour training course I have attended. Todd Adkins This course is a wonderful tool for new Radiation Safety Officers. The instructors have countless knowledge of a broad range of radiation topics. Their ability to teach difficult topics is impressive. Frank Brown For a person who is new to being an RSO, I found this course to be very informative and I hope to be able to apply everything I learned to my new position. Edward L. Williams, III The instructors really make this course. Anyone can present information but they make it interesting and sometimes even fun. Jennifer Bonass This course should be a pre-requisite for any RSO – it provides the full breath of knowledge this job demands as well as all of the documentation required. Howard J. Cylinder The instruction given throughout the course was very well thought out and organized. This promoted a great atmosphere for learning the responsibilities of an RSO. Thank you very much for you help and dedication to your specialty of radiation guidance and education. Brad Clark This class is Awesome!! I felt lost in my new role as RSO with little to no direction. Now I have direction and someone to point me there. I’m excited to go home and start a job/task I was afraid of. I highly recommend this class for new and old RSO’s because day to day duties create stagnant RSO’s and this class makes you refresh yourself and your programs. Thank you for your help and inspirations!! Thank you Kelly, Mike, and AliceAnn. Your information was very helpful, your personalities are perfect! Charlotte Johnson this course will be very helpful for new RSO’s and RSO’s needing refresher training. The course content, instructors and class location are all great. Charles Derrick Sims I have attended several radiation courses over the years. This is the best for learning and understanding the practical side of what you need to do in your facility. The staff, course material and learning experience will exceed your expectations and provide you with reference material and consulting support that will help you have a top notch program. Michael Thompson The instructors were very knowledgeable and the content was well organized. Though the class had a wide variety of students from many different working environments, the course content was related back to real life situations that the class might experience whenever possible. The course was great. Thank you to the entire Radiation Safety Academy Staff. Mike Battaglia
Besides the fact that my pants are tighter now, I really enjoyed this class. I was not looking forward to leaving my family for this “boring” class. Boy was I wrong, the class was not boring and the fact that every single staff member was exceptionally nice and personable made my time away from my family not so bad. So with that said…”THANK YOU”! I have really learned a lot and have met some great people along the way. I hope to work with your organization in the future. Gina Grennan A well organized and professionally presented course that lives up to its billing as practical. Bruce A. Dye The material covered was extensive yet to the point. The learning environment was perfect (both in the classroom and lab). Having been the ARSO at the Naval Hospital Jacksonville from 2003 to 2006, I can see how inadequate my on the job training was. There is no substitute for formal training from an independent agency. Freddy Torres When I came to Radiation Safety Academy I had little idea of what was involved being an RSO. This course provided the practical knowledge that I need to get started. It is provided in a friendly and sharing manner. Who says leaning can’t be fun? John Whitehouse The information provided in this training course far exceeded my expectations. The way the content was presented provided for an excellent learning experience. The practical application provided in this course can be used throughout the lab, not just the radiation lab. For instance the suggestions for record keeping, and building a relationship with the regulators etc. is very important information that will help with other types of audits. The Academy is an excellent choice! James Mathis This was a very good course and I think I learned a lot about radiation safety that I didn’t know. I can admit that I’m one of those people, who have a fear of radiation, but now I know facts that will dissipate this fear and I can convey this to other people. Edith Kabingu The Radiation Safety Academy provided me with an environment that promoted learning and comfort with the instructors to interact with. Additionally, I finally became comfortable with the science and math of radiation, and how to develop a very comprehensive radiation safety program that should be a requirement in medical residency training programs, and radiological schools before you are allowed to commence your own program. AbdulRahman A. Al-Naimi This Radiation Safety Officers program was a very good course. The knowledge I’ve gained will be very instrumental in my role as RSO. The staff has so much knowledge and is open to all questions, no matter how small you feel they might be. I came to Radiation Safety Academy with no knowledge of radiation at all, but I’m leaving with enough to get me started on the right track. The staff jokes/riddles are very much needed and welcomed. Keep up the great work of educating us about radiation safety. Carolyn Pleasant-Mitchell I personally have attended several different training classes, on a wide range of topics at many different institutions. This facility and staff have far surpassed any experience I have currently experienced in this field. I would definitely highly recommend this course and facility to anyone needing radiation training on any level. Josh Swindell Everyone at Radiation Safety Academy has a great passion for teaching radiation. I recommend this class for anyone interested in learning more about radiation safety and RSO responsibilities. David M. Laird An excellent RSO school which exceeded all my expectations. Very practical for my field of work. The staff was very hospitable to all our needs. Mark A. Juarez This course was very helpful. It helped me understand better my job descriptions. All of the guys keep the training fun and interesting. I also learned a lot about the chemistry side of radiation. Zoila LaChapelle My concept about radiation has changes forever. All myths are gone! I’m impressed with the amount of quality instructors that the academy has. They all have the rare combination of second to none knowledge and experience with true teaching skills. They compliment each other’s knowledge so no one leaves with a doubt back to their job. My only compliant is “too much food”, I gained about 5 lbs. You just have “The Best Rad Course!” For the Spanish speakers: Indadablemente el major curso de radiacion. El nivel de expertise es impresionante. No hay dude que se quede sin aclarar y sus tecnicas de ensenaza son bien efectivas. Roberto Gonzalez As a military member of the National Guard being assigned to a WMD unit, this RSO Course exceeds my expectations. The material is up to date, well organized, and most of all the instructors and the staff of the Academy are very professional. I will recommend this course to the Civil Support Team. It is one of the best courses that I ever attended. Job well Done! Sgt Ruben Figueroa RSO Class exceeded expectations. Learned to construct, maintain and develop a radiation safety program for my facility. This course also enabled me to research information that can help me become a better radiation officer and ultimately facilitate a better understanding of radiation in my work place. Michael Merritt I came to this course knowing very, and when I say very…I mean very little about radiation. When I left this class I now understand so much more. The instructors know what their teaching. They make learning enjoyable. I will be coming back for the free refresher in the future. Ryan Shiel I found the staff to be extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Gained a lot of information I was unaware of despite being in the nuclear medicine field for 10 years. Cara Taylor 180o RLH (Run Like Hell) – not anymore Thomas Smith This is a great course. The instructors are some of the top professionals in the HP field and their knowledge level and experience in the classrooms demonstrated that. The staff make you feel welcome, comfortable and go above & beyond, as related to customer service, to ensure your hotel stay is OK, a great snack bar (that is free to the students – great benefit) and the staff taking the students to lunch. The instructors were always willing to stay after class and on break to answer questions. You guys offer outstanding training, make students feel comfortable, and provide free “reach back service for former students.” You guys ROCK! Thank you to everyone that made this class so enjoyable. I will definitely come back for any class and recommend you guys. The fiesta ware and radium clocks and all the instruments at radiation safety are great examples.
