This ONE DAY school, sponsored by Air/Compliance Consultants, offers both the lecture and the field certification. All activities are conducted at Air/Compliance at U-PARC. The lecture begins at 8:00 am. The field runs begin at 10:30 am. In the event of adverse weather conditions (fog, heavy rain, lightning, etc.) the field runs could be delayed but will resume as soon as weather permits. DIRECTIONS to U-PARC from the Pennsylvania Turnpike: Exit the Turnpike at the Allegheny Valley exit (exit 48). Bear right onto Freeport Rd. towards Pittsburgh.
