How Do I Get Trained For DOT Urine Specimen Collections For Drug Testing?

Individuals performing drug testing under Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations are required to be trained and qualified to perform the drug test collections. DOT actually requires training, qualification and mock collections (proficiency evaluation).

With any of the training programs offered above, a comprehensive DOT urine specimen collection training manual is available upon request; it includes printed material to read and video links.
DOT does not certify anyone for urine specimen collector training. The certification comes from the organization or instructor that provides you the training, gets you qualified and monitors your proficiency demonstration (mock collections). This is all available with a very easy process and in all areas of the United States, follow the links above.
