 		   CAOHC Certification Training: Audiometry & Hearing Conservation 3-Day Course

This 3-day basic training course will prepare you to conduct hearing screening and pure-tone audiometry. The course will familiarize you with all facets of occupational hearing conservation. If you wish, bring your own audiometer.

Upon completion you will be awarded a certificate; which will provide evidence of training, as required, by OSHA and MSHA. You will also qualify for certification by the Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC). In Illinois and a number of other states, CAOHC certification is required for anyone who performs industrial audiometry.
