The DOT Oral Fluid Collector Train-the-Trainer Course is an advanced program designed to equip experienced professionals with the expertise needed to train and qualify DOT Oral Fluid Collectors in full compliance with 49 CFR Part 40.35. Developed by Andrew Easler, an attorney and subject matter expert in drug and alcohol testing, this 8-hour training program ensures that trainers are fully prepared to deliver DOT-compliant instruction while meeting the highest industry standards.
This comprehensive course combines self-paced learning modules with live, instructor-led sessions focused on teaching methodologies, adult learning principles, and hands-on practice in conducting mock collections and scenario-based training. Participants will master the skills needed to effectively train collectors on the essential components of DOT oral fluid collection, including basic information, initial qualifications training, and proficiency demonstrations. The program also covers critical trainer responsibilities, such as evaluating trainee performance, ensuring regulatory compliance, and addressing common challenges in the collection process.
All necessary training materials—such as textbooks, forms, testing devices, and instructional guides—are included and delivered directly to participants for a seamless and practical learning experience.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate authorizing them to train and certify DOT Oral Fluid Collectors. As a certified trainer, you will be prepared to convey the many advantages of oral fluid testing, including its non-invasive nature, reduced risk of adulteration, and ability to detect recent drug use within 24-48 hours. With the certification of two labs by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) forthcoming, this course positions you to meet the increasing demand for qualified trainers in this rapidly evolving field.
