DOT Training Courses

Certified training programs for Breath Alcohol Technicians and Instructors — fully aligned with 49 CFR Part 40

Compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) alcohol testing standards requires formal training for all Breath Alcohol Technicians (BATs), as outlined in 49 CFR Part 40.213 (b)(1). The Intox Training Academy delivers accredited DOT and Workplace Alcohol Testing training courses designed to meet — and exceed — federal requirements, making them equally suitable for nonregulated industrial and workplace testing programs.

Why DOT-Approved Training Matters

Under DOT rules, any employer that takes disciplinary action based on an alcohol test must be prepared to demonstrate the credentials and training of the technician who conducted the test. Failure to do so may expose the employer to litigation. That's why proper, documented training using a recognised curriculum is not just best practice — it’s a legal safeguard.
