Frequently Asked Questions
Does the online course alone make me a qualified DOT urine collector?
No. Qualification requires the applicable training and five consecutive error-free proficiency mock collections monitored in real time by a qualified person who provides written attestation.
How many mock demonstrations must I complete?
Five consecutive error-free mock collections are required. The scenarios cover an uneventful collection, insufficient quantity, out-of-range temperature, signs of tampering, and a donor who refuses to sign or initial required documents or seals.
Can the mocks be completed through live video?
Yes. A method that provides real-time observation and interaction may be used. ATA's live process is structured around real-time monitoring and instructor interaction.
Is ATA or this course “DOT approved”?
DOT does not operate a private collector-training provider approval program. ATA's program is designed to address the collector qualification requirements established in 49 CFR §40.33.
Do I need a nursing license or medical experience?
Part 40 does not require a medical license to serve as a urine specimen collector. You must complete the required training and proficiency demonstrations and follow the federal procedure.
How long is collector training current?
Refresher training is required at least every five years. Separate error-correction training may be required when a collector error causes a DOT test to be cancelled.

Important: DOT does not approve or certify private collector-training providers. ATA provides a training program designed to help students satisfy the qualification-training and proficiency-demonstration requirements in 49 CFR §40.33. Students remain responsible for following current federal requirements and maintaining appropriate qualification records.
