Welcome to the APTI Virtual Classroom
The APTI Virtual Classroom gives you the opportunity to take, on-line, EPA’s Air Pollution Training Institute self-instructional courses at your leisure. EPA established its Air Pollution Training Institute (APTI) over 30 years ago to provide technical air pollution training to environmental professionals in State, tribal, and local governments. Now this premiere technical air pollution training material is available to all with web access.
To better serve you, EPA developed this free training, to benefit those who are new to the profession, for those wanting a refresher and for those that just want to know more about air pollution control.
Below is a list of the courses available in PDF file format. Click on the course you wish to take or the lesson in each course you wish to review. Each course file includes content material, as well as, an on-line test and certificate of mastery. We encourage you to print out the course material and use it to guide your study of each topic. At the end of each course section, we have included review questions to help you gauge your learning. After you have completed the course we encourage you to save the materials as a reference. Also, you need to have the materials accessible to you when you take the on-line test. You may need to reference tables, figures, equations and appendices that are needed to complete the test.
To take the test, you must answer each test question from the pull down menu of choices, and then click on the submit test icon. Test results are given immediately. A 90% mastery is required to receive a certificate; however, you may take the test an unlimited number of times until you are successful. The test questions will vary each time.
