About AQ101

Air Quality 101 (AQ101) Training provides a comprehensive and foundational knowledge of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its various regulatory programs.  The program covers the history of the CAA, National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and an overview of regulatory programs that impact industrial operations (e.g., New Source Performance Standards, Prevention of Significant Deterioration, air quality modeling, etc.).  The program also covers more focused topics that are encountered day to day by facility environmental personnel such as the basics of emissions testing and continuous emissions monitoring.

A Digital Track is offered as an alternative (or addition) to the traditional AQ101 program. The traditional AQ101 program is referred to as the NSR Track. Learn more below.

AQ101 is ALL4’s training for professionals with no or limited experience in the field of air quality.  It may also be helpful for professionals with experience in a specific sub-discipline of air quality who are looking to expand their knowledge.

AQ101 is training for those seeking to establish and further their understanding of air quality obligations that impact regulated facilities on a day to day basis.  The topics covered by AQ101 will be encountered by environmental personnel in their real world projects.

Unlike other air quality training programs, AQ101 is delivered via twelve 1-hour webinar sessions, so no out of facility or office time is required for AQ101 participation. The first eight sessions are common to both the New Source Review (NSR) and Digital Tracks. The final four sessions of the NSR Track take a deeper dive into NSR permitting and air dispersion modeling, and the final four sessions of the Digital Track address concepts for digital air compliance tools. The NSR Track is designed for environmental professionals who have an interest in the requirements associated with air quality permitting.  The Digital Track is designed for software and environmental professionals whose primary focus is managing compliance with air quality requirements. Both tracks can be taken where there is interest in both subjects.

Numerous professional designations require continuing education/professional development.  Upon completing either track, a certificate will be provided identifying ALL4’s Air Quality 101 as 12 hours of continuing education/professional development (or 16 hours for both tracks).  Many states and professional organizations accept continuing education hours/professional development hours for license/certification renewal purposes.  To ensure acceptability in each personal situation, please check with the requirements of your State Board/Professional Organization.
