The online 40-hour RSO training from Radiation Safety Engineering is not only excellent—it’s also literally fun. Drs. Metzger and Holbert teach you how to grasp a complex and fascinating subject in a practical, enjoyable way. Everybody is very helpful and responsive, during the course and after.

I have no previous experience being an RSO or shipping radioactive materials and I had many questions. The instructors were extremely patient and helpful and were able to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend this class for anyone that has to take a Radiation Safety Officer class and/or DOT Hazmat training.

I just recently completed the online Radiation Safety Officer Training and it was great on every level. The lectures were fun and engaging, the information I learned was valuable, and the at-your-own-pace style lectures work great for someone with a busier schedule. Very impressed, and would certainly recommend!
