Upon completion of this course, supervisors will have the knowledge and skills to take on the role of Designated Employer Representative, managing their workplace’s drug and alcohol testing program.

The Certified Designated Employer Representative (C-DER) Training course, developed by the National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA) provides DERs with knowledge of the drug and alcohol testing industry and the supervisory skills required to maintain compliance with both federally regulated U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing requirements as well as non-regulated policies. This is the same course as the “Designated Employer Representative (DER) Training (DOT Qualified)” available through NDASA University, but for those seeking the C-DER designation.

Students will receive:

1. An overview of testing procedures to understand the complete testing process.
2. An understanding of each U.S. Department of Transportation mode’s rules and regulations pertaining to drug and alcohol testing to ensure compliance whether the business is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration or the Federal Railroad Administration.
3. A full definition of the role of the DER to ensure company and DOT policy compliance
4. C-DER Certification

Please note, course enrollment expires six months from the date of purchase. However, you will retain access to your account in the learning system and all certificates of completion.
