Training – Route to Membership
FOLPA has created the Pb82-204 a specialised training route to Membership, designed for professionals currently engaged in testing, surveying, removal or procurement of lead paint services within the property industry who seek to expand their knowledge about lead paint. This training pathway is tailored to provide additional insights into lead paint testing and assessment processes, enabling professionals to broaden their understanding in this niche but growing area.
This training course aims to deliver a broader understanding of lead paint implications within the property industry. Participants are introduced to the various aspects involved in lead paint scenarios, including the latest industry standards, environmental considerations, and health and safety regulations. This rich content is intended to inform and enlighten professionals about lead paint, enhancing their general knowledge and awareness.
Modules within the course reading materials are emailed to the applicant to study at their own pace and once complete the applicant can then sit the exam test laid out as 55 Multiple choice questions via our online portal. This approach ensures participants receive a comprehensive overview, covering theoretical knowledge as well as practical information that can help them in their current roles. The emphasis here is to help participants equip themselves with a deeper understanding that can contribute to more informed decision-making and strategising in their existing professions when providing lead paint services.
