Training

Introduction

ACPRO offers radiological protection courses and workshops in the following modalities: e-learning (access to the portal campus), blended learning and face-to-face;

We have extensive experience in radiation protection training.

Ionizing radiation has many uses, which should be carried out safely: to this end, it is essential that users are adequately trained in Radiation Protection.

We have extensive experience in training in Radiation Protection: in 2007 we approved courses for radiology directors and operators and in 2012 we approved courses for the training of supervisors and operators of radioactive facilities.
