Course Description:
The WMG RC-1000 course is the most advanced course available to help students understand the use of RADMAN™ and the software’s interface with the regulatory environment. Students receive a comprehensive understanding of the software’s purpose, basis, structure, and operations as they pertain to the relevant regulations and guidelines. This course requires an in-depth knowledge of the NRC and DOT regulatory framework before enrollment. Emphasis is placed on verifying computer code input and output, and the ability to independently verify selected key regulatory classification determinations with hand calculations of RADMAN™ outputs. The course is presented with a series of topical classroom style discussions that follow along with a training manual that features hands-on functional exercises with varying degrees of difficulty. Passing the course requires the successful completion of a written examination and comes with a certificate. The recommended class size is ten students with two dedicated instructors.
