DOT Drug & Alcohol Modules

Choose your training module below. These are the free, self-paced knowledge modules, fully aligned with 49 CFR Part 40. Note: the DOT collector, BAT, and oral fluid qualifications also require a live Zoom proficiency demonstration (error-free mock collections) before your qualification certificate is issued — the self-paced sections alone do not qualify you.
