NAESA International conducts numerous training sessions throughout the year, but the Board recognizes that it benefits our inspectors when NAESA approves outside organizations for the purpose of providing continuing education in a location somewhat convenient to inspectors' residences or businesses. By entering into agreements with individuals or organizations for approval of outside seminars, NAESA International will be able to provide our inspectors with one more avenue to fulfill their continuing education requirements. This is particularly important in an era when travel is becoming more and more costly thereby making it difficult, if not impossible, for some individuals to travel to obtain this education.

If interested in becoming an approved provider of continuing education for certified elevator inspectors, please click here.

For individuals interested in submitting other outside continuing education to fulfill the annual renewal requirements, please review the Training Approval Matrix   for a detailed explanation of the subject matter and potentially associated credit hours.

The Following Programs Have Been Approved To Assist Inspectors In Fulfilling Their Continuing Education Units As Required By ASME QEI-1.
