Hi Jillian.
Once we process the order, the student information is provided to our training coordinator who will create your student account in our learning management system. Once she creates your student account and assigns the proper online course, you will receive an email with instruction on how to log into your assigned course. The time it takes to process orders and clear credit cards and assign courses at most can take up to couple of hours. If you do not see a course invitation email in your inbox or spam folder (also check your spam folder to see if your company’s IT setting sent it there), contact one of our representatives at 800.227.9890. Good luck on your course.

the supplies needed for the online course are they provided or do you have to purchase them separately

Admin Jennie Lee-Pace –
Typically people use the supplies that are already at their facility. If you are a new start-up company, you can get the Custody and Control Forms (CCFs) and the split specimen kits for free when you sign-up with the lab you will be using to test the samples you send in. Abbot Labs, LabCorp are just a couple of labs that give your your supplies for free. We can send you CCFs and split specimen kits but will need to charge shipping for those supplies.

Hi Emily.
It depends on how familiar you already are with DOT testing. Beginners may take 3-4 hours to go through and test out on the regulations part of the training. Seasoned DOT testers may take only 2 hours to go through the regulations. Once you test out on the regulations you sign up for an available mock session. This session is where we oversee your 5 mock specimen collections. Again, beginners may take 2 -3 hours to complete their mocks, while seasoned collectors can get through in 1-2 hours. Hope this information is helpful.

Can I use a certified drug and alcohol tester at my company to perform my mock test instead of using the instructor via web cam? The times won’t work with my work schedule

Hello Kelly.
If that individual holds a valid certificate and has been performing drug tests for a year or more, they are qualified to oversee your mocks. They would need to know which mocks the DOT requires you to perform and how to document your completion. We offer a regulations only course that covers DOT regulations. If you took this class you would receive a certificate that you completed regulations training only. The person overseeing your mocks would have to issue a second certificate that you completed your mocks.
