Program Description
- These workshops offer a specialized certification program emphasizing Wyoming DOT
specifications and procedures.
- The intentions of the workshops are a review of materials and processes to obtain
certification and are not introductory training courses.
- The first part of the certification consists of online classroom sessions covering material specific information and video demonstrations. All instruction
is online through Zoom and written tests are administered through an online test-taking
platform.
- The second part of the certification is an in-person, hands-on performance test.
- The successful completion will fulfill the testing technician certification requirements
for Wyoming DOT QC/QA projects. WYDOT issues a certificate upon successfully passing
both the online written test and the performance test. Wyoming DOT QC/QA projects
require that testing technicians be certified for asphalt and concrete projects.
- All certifications are good for 5 years.
Who Should Attend?
People requiring the qualifications for conducting or overseeing materials testing
on WYDOT QC/QA projects are encouraged to apply.
