Course Objective

The objective of the Advanced DER course is to address tough questions and situations that DERs encounter. This highly interactive course will provide in-depth discussion of these issues so that DERs know best how to address these situations to remain in compliance. Participants will learn not only the regulations and regulatory guidance concerning the addressed situations, but also learn from the real-world experiences of other participants. Participants will leave with clear and concrete information on how to best perform their duties while ensuring compliance. Participants will also leave with a greater understanding of the regulations governing how to respond to these tough questions and situations.

* For those new to drug and alcohol testing or looking for a primer, DATIA recommends taking the Ins & Outs of Drug & Alcohol Testing online course prior to taking this course. Doing so will provide a primer allowing you to enhance your educational experience during this course.
