The Drug Test Collector plays a critical role in the workplace drug screening process. Along with the employer, the testing facility and the Medical Review Officer (MRO), the collector is an essential part of a system developed to ensure drug-free workplaces for the sake of public safety.
As the collector, you are the only individual in the drug-testing process who has direct, face-to-face contact with the employee. You ensure the integrity of the urine specimen and collection process and begin the chain of custody that includes the laboratory; the MRO; the employer; and, possibly, the courts.
This training is a professional-level course that provides the knowledge and skills to qualify Drug Test Collectors to perform U.S. Department of Transportation-regulated drug tests and non-regulated tests. Course participants also have the option of becoming professionally certified after completion of this course. This designation confirms that the collector is committed to the highest standards in the drug and alcohol testing industry.
The Course
This professional-level course meets the regulatory standards of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rule 49 CFR Part 40 and provides a solid foundation for a wide range of testing programs.

How to become a DOT Qualified Urine Colletor?
To become qualified as a collector, you must be knowledgeable about Part 40 regulations, the current "DOT Urine Specimen Collection Procedures Guidelines," and DOT agency regulations applicable to the employers for whom you will perform collections, and you must keep current on any changes to these materials. You must also (1) successfully complete a qualification training program and (2) pass a monitored proficiency demonstration, as required by DOT regulations [See 49 CFR Part 40.33 (b-c), effective August 1, 2001]. Please note: there is no "grandfather" clause or waiver from this requirement. A collector's qualifications are not location/collection site specific, and their eligibility will follow them anywhere DOT Agency regulated urine specimens are collected. There is no requirement for qualified collectors to register or to be on any federally-maintained or federally-sponsored list, but they are required to maintain (for Federal inspection) documentation of successful completion of their training and proficiency demonstration requirements.
How to Take the Course
The Drug Test Collector Training involves multiple parts that need to be completed in a specific order to achieve certification.
- Before starting the training, the collector must:
- review 49 CFR Part 40 and be familiar with the regulatory language;
- review the DOT Urine Specimen Collection Guidelines;
- review "Instructions for Completing the Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form for Urine Specimen Collection"
- watch DOT's 10 Steps to Collection Site Security and Integrity video.
- and download the sample Custody and Control Form. This form guides the entire drug-collection process. Review the document and have it at hand through the entire course. (All required materials are also available in the Reference Library.) NOTE: The 2017 version of the CCF is no longer current. If you intend to use it, you must attach a Memorandum for Record (MFR).
- Take the course Pre-Test to show familiarity with the subject matter based on a review of the materials provided.
- Complete the lessons of the training along with the required short quizzes.
- Take the final exam. A score of at least 90 percent is required.
- When you pass the online portion of this training, continue to the Next Steps lesson for instructions on how to set up five mock collections with a live examiner. These must be scheduled within 30 days of course completion and are required for qualification and certification.
- Once the mock collections are completed without error, you will be qualified and can perform both federally regulated and non-regulated drug test collections.
- To be certified, qualified collectors are asked to sign an agreement promising to adhere to the standards set in the training. The course administrator will then issue a certification form documenting that the collector is both a USDOT Qualified and Professionally Certified Drug Testing Collector. Contact the course administrator for more information.

Local Area Info: Vermont Route 140
Vermont Route 140 (VT 140) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Vermont. The highway runs 25.059 miles (40.329 km) from VT 30 in Poultney east to VT 103 in Mount Holly. VT 140 connects the southern Rutland County towns of Poultney, Middletown Springs, Tinmouth, Wallingford, and Mount Holly.
VT 140 begins at a four-way intersection with VT 30 in the incorporated village of Poultney in the town of Poultney. VT 30 heads north as Beaman Street and south as Grove Street, and VT 140 heads east as Main Street; the west leg of the intersection is Main Street, which passes through the Poultney Main Street Historic District and leads to Green Mountain College. VT 140 parallels the Poultney River east from the village and passes through the East Poultney Historic District. The highway crosses Finel Hollow Brook, Clark Hollow Brook, and the river before entering the town of Middletown Springs along West Street. VT 140 crosses the river and Vail Brook on its way to the Middletown Springs Historic District. In the center of town, the highway intersects VT 133 (South Street). The two highways run concurrently on East Street from the village to shortly after they enter the town of Tinmouth, where VT 133 splits north onto North Road.
VT 140 leaves the Poultney River valley at the river's headwaters and heads east and then south to the center of Tinmouth, which is featured in the Tinmouth Historic District. From the center of town, the highway heads east and descends to the Clarendon River. VT 140 has a pair of right-angle turns as it ascends from the river valley. On entering the town of Wallingford, the highway descends into the valley of Otter Creek, which the highway crosses at the western edge of the village of Wallingford. VT 140 enters the village on Florence Street, which has a grade crossing of the Vermont Railway's north–south mainline. The highway then immediately turns north onto Railroad Street, which crosses Roaring Brook, and east onto Depot Street, which heads through the Wallingford Main Street Historic District. VT 140 continues along School Street east of the route's intersection with U.S. Route 7 (US 7) (Main Street). The highway ascends the main range of the Green Mountains along Roaring Brook, which it crosses several times, and intersects the Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail. Beyond the headwaters of Roaring Brook, VT 140 descends to the village of East Wallingford. The highway has a grade crossing of the Green Mountain Railroad and crosses the Mill River during its brief concurrency with VT 155. East of VT 155, VT 140 enters the town of Mount Holly and reaches its eastern terminus at VT 103.
