All options are one-time payments. Your DOT Collector Qualification certificate is issued after you complete the online exam and your monitored mock collections (per 49 CFR § 40.33).
Clinics, TPAs and collection sites training a team get a quoted rate per seat. All five mock collections are completed in a single session, so your people qualify together rather than one at a time.
Split-specimen cups, temperature strips, tamper-evident seals, mock CCFs & gloves for your 5 proficiency collections. Ships before your class date. (Recommended for Component 2 & Full Qualification buyers.)
Work through the DOT collection procedures, the CCF, the step-by-step collection, problem and observed collections, and fatal flaws. Pass the final exam.
In a live online class with a qualified monitor, complete 5 consecutive error-free mock collections — including the required problem scenarios.
Once both components are done, your dated DOT Collector Qualification certificate is issued. Re-qualify every 5 years (§ 40.33(f)).
Staff who perform DOT urine collections need qualification under § 40.33 — and re-qualification every 5 years.
Stand up a compliant collection point with properly qualified, documented collectors.
Setting up your own collection capability? Qualify your collector the right way, the first time.

If a collection mistake caused a DOT drug test to be cancelled, DOT § 40.33(e) requires error-correction training within 30 days. We offer it for $199 — purchase below to pay and schedule, or contact us to inquire further.
DOT requires specimen collectors to re-qualify every 5 years (§ 40.33(f)) — both parts of qualification: the rules & procedures training and the proficiency demonstration (5 mock collections).
The online course is self-paced and takes most people about 2.5 hours to complete.
Yes. The course is built to the U.S. DOT's 49 CFR Part 40 collection procedures and the collector-qualification requirements of § 40.33 — the federal standard every FMCSA-regulated drug & alcohol program follows to qualify urine specimen collectors. Full qualification includes the proctored proficiency demonstration (Component 2).
DOT requires both qualification knowledge training and a proficiency demonstration of 5 consecutive error-free mock collections (49 CFR § 40.33). The online course covers the knowledge; the proctored session covers the hands-on demonstration.
Yes — the $151 option is for collectors who have already completed a procedures course. You must complete Component 1 before the live online proficiency class.
Your DOT Collector Qualification certificate is issued after you pass the online exam and complete your monitored mock collections — dated to the day you finish the mock collections.
Every 5 years under § 40.33(f). (And if a collection error ever cancels a real test, § 40.33(e) error-correction training applies.)
The online course follows our standard schedule: request in writing within five business days of purchase for a full refund if you have not accessed it, 75% back under 10% viewed, or 50% back under 30%. The live session is fully refundable before it is scheduled, and if you cannot attend we will reschedule you at no charge. See our full refund policy for the details.
