"It has been my pleasure to have reviewed and provided input into the Accredited Training Academy US Department of Transportation (DOT) Collector Training course. The course is user-friendly and uses mixed media to provide the trainee with information into clear, well-organized, and easy to understand format. This thorough and comprehensive course is focused on the DOT regulation, 49 CFR Part 40, the DOT's policies, and provides information about the drug and alcohol testing regulations of the DOT agencies. It is an outstanding learning experience for new trainees, as well as for those already qualified collectors who want to renew or intensify their knowledge and credentials."

- Patrice M. Kelly, JD, Former Director of the Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy Compliance (ODAPC) U.S. Department of Transportation

Accredited Training Academy sets a new standard for drug and alcohol testing education. The courses are comprehensive, practical, and built around real-world scenarios that professionals actually face. ATA doesn’t just prepare you to “get certified”; it equips you to operate with confidence, consistency, and defensible decision-making in the field. I strongly recommend ATA for anyone entering the drug and alcohol testing sector as well as for experienced professionals and programs seeking to elevate their training credentials and experience. What ATA has created is the kind of instruction that will reshape the training landscape for the drug and alcohol testing industry.

-Anthony Burriola, President Mid Iowa Drug Testing
