About the Program
The Construction Inspector Certification program was created by CDOT in 2004 to develop a qualified inspection staff in order to obtain a higher-quality end product on the highway. All construction inspectors—whether from CDOT or a consultant—must demonstrate proficiency by passing the required exams and earning certification within the developed categories (EITs are exempt from the Basic Highway Math Exam).
There are three categories of inspector exams:
Basic Highway Math
Basic Construction Surveying
Basic Highway Plan Reading
All three of the exams can be accessed through CDOT’s learning management system, the SOC Learns Training Portal.
