TQC is awarded for a three-year period, with re-certification efforts required prior to the end of the third year. The TQC & TQAC Certification Board will notify the TQC-certified person at the beginning of their third year, asking them to submit the TQC Re-Certification Form if he/she intends to maintain his/her certification. The TQC & TQAC Certification Board will then evaluate the TQC-certified person’s experience, activity, and education/training during the 3 years TQC certification period, and, if they continue to be qualified, issues a TQC Re-Certification Certificate, or asks the candidate to take the TQC Re-Certification Exam. In the latter case, the evaluation will follow the same procedure, but simpler, as with a new TQC certification.   

TQAC Charter Members 

TQAC Charter Members are those who are TQAC Certified in 2021.

TQAC is a one time award, showing proper education in emergency management. TQAC can be upgraded to TQC Certification when the candidate has achieved the necessary practical experience (Participation and Contribution) in emergency management. The candidate can then submit the TQAC Certification Upgrade to TQC Form. The TQAC-certified person’s experience and activity will be then evaluated, and if fulfilling the TQC Requirements, awarded the TQC Certification.

Concerning TIEMS International Certification - TQC & TQAC, the TQC & TQAC Applicants may acquire required competencies anywhere they wish – past coursework or experience, independent study, or they may take on-line or in-person courses. As time goes by, TIEMS Academy will be providing access to an increasing number of courses relevant to TQC & TQAC Competencies and references to places where the candidates can find relevant courses/studies for their preparation for TQC & TQAC certification. TIEMS aims to make TQC & TQAC an international effort and cooperation project, and TIEMS has therefore reached out worldwide in order to find International Education Partners, among universities and training institutions and other institutions and companies, which provide teaching/courses in emergency management and disaster response and can add value to TQC & TQAC teaching courses/material. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is guiding the cooperation between TIEMS and these International Education Partners, and below is a presentation of those institutions TIEMS has an agreement with at present. Other teaching institutions with interest in TIEMS International Certification - TQC & TQAC, and which provide teaching/courses in this field, are welcome to join us in the TQC & TQAC development and spread out internationally. The courses provided by the TIEMS Education Partners are in addition to the courses provided in-house TIEMS and uploaded to TIEMS Academy.

Health Physics at Illinois Tech

Illinois Institute of Technology, one of North America’s leaders in online radiation safety and protection educational programs, now offers a Master of Health Physics degree with Specialization in Radiological Security, Emergency Preparedness and Response (RSEPR). This new track expands Illinois Tech’s well-established Master of Health Physics program (1997) to address radiological security and emergency areas. The specialization is based on Illinois Tech’s core health physics curriculum which includes applying radiation protection principles, implementing radiation protection programs, and assessing radiation exposure and human health risks. Students learn to monitor radiological release and environmental radiation, design radiation controls and measurement devices, and develop radiation protection measures for regulatory compliance.

The current curriculum of the Radiological Security, Emergency Preparedness and Response track emphasizes the expertise of the instructors and the accrued knowledge of the profession, including courses in radiological source security and management, and nuclear emergency preparedness and response. The program offers seminars by experts on field management of radiological emergencies. In addition, the curriculum addresses the qualification requirements for the United States Department of Homeland Security’s Radiological Operations Support Specialist (ROSS) Program. Graduates of the program will be ready to support ROSS qualifications necessary to: exhibit technical leadership in homeland protection, be rapidly deployed in emergencies, communicate recommendations to all concerned municipal entities, be familiar with state and federal agency protocol, and be integrated into incident command.

If you are a scientist concerned with the rising prospects of international nuclear terrorism, environmental protection during nuclear accidents, and management of radiological incidents, then come see what Illinois Tech has to offer. With over 150 well-placed alumni and a stellar advisory board, Illinois Tech’s health physics program continues to be at the forefront of radiation safety education. Choose from:
