Every DOT employer has to name a Designated Employer Representative to run its drug & alcohol program. This is the training that makes them ready — done online, on your schedule, with an audit-ready certificate the moment you finish.
The DER is the person authorized to receive test results and pull drivers from safety-sensitive duty. A C/TPA can't do that job — it must be someone at your company. This course makes that person competent and documents it.
Run a clean program and protect the company from liability with a trained, documented DER on file.
If you receive results, manage the consortium, or handle the Clearinghouse, this is your training.
Running your own authority? You're your own DER — learn the whole program and prove you know it.
From what a DER is, through every test type, to the Clearinghouse and recordkeeping — in plain English, built on the federal regulations.
What a DER is, your § 40.3 authority, Part 40 vs Part 382, and the six DOT test types at a glance.
The written policy, your C/TPA, MRO and SAP, joining a consortium, and staying audit-ready.
Pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up — with the rates and windows.
Sending a driver, the collection & chain of custody, alcohol thresholds, and the lab & MRO process.
Reading every verified result, what counts as a refusal, immediate removal, and the stand-down rule.
Queries, reporting violations, the SAP return-to-duty path, and record retention & confidentiality.

The instant you pass the final exam, you get a dated certificate of completion — citing 49 CFR Part 40 & Part 382 — ready to download, print, and keep on file. It's your documentation that the person running your program is trained.

The Designated Employer Representative — the person at each DOT-regulated company authorized to receive test results and remove drivers from duty. That's often an owner, a safety/HR/office manager, or an owner-operator acting as their own DER.
DOT requires every employer to have a DER who is knowledgeable enough to run the program and take immediate action (49 CFR Part 40). Part 40 doesn't set a fixed curriculum or minute count, so this course trains your DER thoroughly on the whole program and gives you dated documentation that they were trained.
Yes. A C/TPA (or MRO or lab) cannot be your DER. You can delegate the work, but the DER authority and decisions must stay with someone at your company — and that person should be trained.
About 2.5 hours. It's self-paced, so you can stop and resume anytime from your portal.
Yes — a dated certificate of completion citing 49 CFR Part 40 & Part 382 issues automatically when you pass the final exam. Keep it on file as proof your DER is trained.
