Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this training required by DOT?
No — Part 40 mandates procedure training for collectors, not de-escalation training. But conflict is where procedures die in practice: sites that train this see fewer cancelled tests, fewer complaints, and safer staff, which is why professional collection sites treat it as core training.
Who should take it?
Everyone who faces donors: urine specimen collectors, breath alcohol technicians, and front-desk/check-in staff — lobbies are where most conflicts actually ignite.
Does it replace collector qualification training?
No — it’s the companion. Our DOT Urine Specimen Collector course teaches the Part 40 procedure; this course keeps that procedure intact when the donor is anxious, angry, or looking for a way out.
We run a collection site — can we train the whole team?
Yes, team pricing is available: 980-655-4455. Pair it with collector training and video-proctored mock collections for complete site staffing.
Does the certificate expire?
No formal expiration; an annual refresher is good practice, and it’s a natural addition to new-hire onboarding at collection sites.
