Become a qualified DOT collector under 49 CFR § 40.33 — the online procedures course plus your proctored proficiency demonstration. Choose the option that fits where you are.
DOT collector qualification has two components: the online procedures course (Component 1) and a proctored proficiency demonstration of 5 error-free mock collections (Component 2). Get one, the other, or both.
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).
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.
We strongly recommend completing your entire collector training — the online procedures course (Component 1) and the live online proficiency demonstration (Component 2) — within a 30-day period.

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.)
