The purpose of the training is to enable supervisors to determine whether reasonable suspicion exists to require a driver to undergo testing described in §382.307. It must include at least 60 minutes of training on alcohol misuse and 60 minutes on controlled substances use (120 minutes in total).”

Why online?
In person training sessions are nice but they can be expensive and hard to coordinate with trainer and employee schedules, or maybe you just need to ensure one or two employees are trained as part of their onboarding process. DVD video courses are typically outdated, poorly produced and just might put your employees into a comatose state. Employees are more likely to surf their smart phone than engage with a video. AtHandTraining’s online course can only be completed if your supervisors are engaged with the content and pass quizzes ensuring they understand the important concepts.

Many other providers are piggy backing off of some other learning management system’s (“LMS”) software and must give a kick back to the LMS providers for every course taken. AtHandTraining manages our own system. We simply skipped the middleman.
