Materials Technician Certification

This program was created by CDOT in 2019 to develop a pool of qualified Materials Technicians, both CDOT staff and consultant staff. Limited knowledge on what is expected of a technician on a CDOT project has led to issues such as communication gaps, lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities, lack of preparation when arriving on projects, and lack of knowledge related to testing and documentation requirements. This program is designed to address those issues.

Materials Technician Certification Program

The Materials Technician Certification Program consists of two separate courses:

All Materials Technicians—whether from CDOT or a consultant—must demonstrate proficiency by passing the end-of-course exam and earning their certification. These two courses are free of cost but require a separate registration. The SiteManager Materials and LIMS –Sampler/Tester class must be completed before registering for the eLearning. Visit the Data Program & Project Analysis Training web page for training dates and information on how to register for SiteManager Materials and LIMS - Sampler/Tester course.
