A: Each class may be separately accredited by federal, state, and tribal agencies, each with potential training location restrictions that add complexity to the answer. Call us with your needs and we will help you plan your training program.

Q: How long can an asbestos or LBP training day last?
A: 8 hours.

Q: Do I need to always select or communicate to my META customer service specialist the specific States where I would like my certificate to be approved in?
A: Yes, even though META might be approved to conduct training in the State that you wish to work, META still needs to notify the course to such specific State; therefore, it is critical that you let your META representative know where you're planning to work or get licensed at. Being an approved training provider does not mean that each class taught outside the jurisdiction will be recognized without prior planning.

Q: Can META customize classes that meet my organization's specific needs?
A: Yes. We can customize certain classes with a specific emphasis on your industry and develop material for your organization as well.
