DOT Breath Alcohol Mocks

Breath Alcohol Mock Testing – Initial Proficiency Demonstration

As part of becoming a qualified Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT)  students must successfully complete an Initial Proficiency Demonstration following their qualification training.

This hands-on component ensures you can properly perform alcohol testing in full compliance with 49 CFR Part 40 standards.

What You’ll Complete

• BAT Candidates: Perform 7 consecutive error-free mock alcohol tests

Each mock test simulates real-world testing scenarios using approved alcohol testing devices.

Live Evaluation Requirement

Your performance will be:

• Observed in real-time (in-person or virtual with live interaction)
• Evaluated by a qualified instructor
• Documented and verified as “error-free” proficiency

Device-Specific Training

All mock demonstrations must be completed using the same devices you will use in the field, including:

• Evidential Breath Testing (EBT) devices
• Alcohol Screening Devices (ASD), where applicable

Why This Matters

This step is required before you can begin performing DOT alcohol testing functions. It ensures you:

• Follow proper testing procedures
• Accurately operate testing equipment
• Maintain full regulatory compliance

Certification Requirement

Completion of both:

• Qualification Training, and
• Initial Proficiency Demonstration (Mock Testing)

is mandatory before performing any BAT duties.
