Collector Training & Certification Programs

The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires, as of January 31, 2003 every individual performing specimen collection must be trained and certified.

If you’re like most occupational clinics, you probably cannot afford the luxury of sending new collectors to remote locations for collector training. We can help! ASTS offers collector training via our interactive internet learning system. After purchasing a password, each collector will be permitted to access the training modules from any internet source, and proceed with the instruction at his/her own pace.

At the conclusion of the training, the student will then complete the final exam, where they will be graded and the successful students will be able to print a certificate suitable for framing.

The second training requirement includes a proficiency component, where the student must complete five (5) consecutive error-free collections. An ASTS staff member will schedule a time for these proficiency exams for each student, at your facility.

The ASTS program meets the requirement established by the DOT, and assures that the time required and expenses incurred are maximized.

Error correction training and refresher training is also available from ASTS.
