To cater for Radiation Protection Supervisors who have fulfilled this role for a number of years, though require a periodic update of knowledge as part of ongoing CPD, IRS runs regular RPS update courses.
The update course offers individuals the opportunity to keep fully informed of any relevant changes to legislation, or the introduction of new techniques and radiation protection measures.
This course has been designed for anyone who has already received training to act as a Radiation Protection Supervisor and wishes to refresh their skills and knowledge.
Please note, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this is an online course only at present. We hope to return to in-person courses at the IRS offices soon.
This course is charged at £206 (inc. VAT) per delegate, though we offer a discounted price to our RPA customers; please contact us for more information prior to ordering.
For more information about IRS’s RPA services, please visit our Sector Services page or, to speak to one of our team, please contact us here.
