Substance Abuse Professional's Role and Responsibilities

DOT/SAP Qualification Training and The IC&RC DOT/SAP Written Examination

Effective January 1, 2004, professionals are prohibited from providing DOT substance abuse  evaluations unless they have met the revised criteria outlined in the DOT regulations (49 CFR, Part 40, Subpart O, 40.281). The revised criteria requires the substance abuse professional to receive training in nine areas of study and to successfully complete an examination related to the training.

This three day event, includes two days of training (12 CEU’s) related to the nine (9) domains of education required by the DOT regulations followed by the administration of the IC&RC written examination on the morning of the third day.  

Participants who successfully complete the training and receive a passing score on the written IC&RC DOT /SAP examination will meet the revised DOT/SAP qualification criteria.
