Coming Soon
Online, Live and Zoom-Based Drug & Alcohol Testing Courses and Professional Certifications
Accredited Drug Testing is excited to announce the upcoming launch of its new education and certification division. The Accredited Training Academy, a comprehensive learning platform dedicated to training and certifying professionals in the drug and alcohol testing industry.
For years, Accredited Drug Testing has been a trusted industry leader in laboratory-based testing, compliance services, and nationwide drug testing program management. Now, we are expanding our mission to empower employers, collectors, and safety-sensitive professionals with industry leading training available online, in live classroom sessions, and via Zoom.
Industry Leading Collector Training - 100% Online and Self-Paced
Whether you're preparing to work at a collection site, starting your own mobile testing business, or expanding your professional qualifications, the Accredited Training Academy delivers training you can trust.
Our core offering includes a 6-hour, self-paced online training program that qualifies you as both a DOT and Non-DOT urine drug test collector. This course is ideal for:
- New collectors entering the industry
- Mobile drug testing providers
- Existing collection site staff needing re-qualification
- Safety-sensitive employers seeking in-house collection capability
To become fully DOT - qualified, collectors must also complete the required five consecutive error-free proficiency mock demonstrations and the Accredited Training Academy provides this service as part of your training pathway, ensuring full compliance with 49 CFR Part 40.
John Burgos, Executive Vice President of the "Accredited Training Academy" stated, With the absolute necessity for qualified and comprehensive training and certification needed in the drug and alcohol testing industry, the Academy will combine multiple industry training programs and resources in one easy to use platform, which will be available for collectors, TPA's, DER's, Breath Alcohol Technicians and other drug testing industry professionals.
