For all classes taken through Providers, the Administrator will issue Certificates and list the individual in the website database

What happens if I fail the exam?

A failing grade on any course exam requires the student to retake that same course prior to retesting. There is no longer a requirement to retake the full Advanced or Intermediate course upon failure of a refresher course exam. If a certificate expires prior to passing a refresher course, the full Advanced or Intermediate course must be taken. Students should proactively schedule refresher courses well in advance of their certificate’s expiration date.

Exam Results:

Exams may take up to 2 weeks to process after the provider has submitted them to the MOT Administrator (excluding weekend and holidays)
Once exams are processed and grades posted, student will be notified by the Administrator via email
Username to login is the student's TIN#, which is bubbled in on the TTC Exam
Once grade is posted no changes can be made to the TIN# since the grade and certificate are linked to it

It is the responsibility of the student to provide their employer with a copy of their certificate. Certificates are located in the student profile, you must login to print it. We do not email them or send them by mail.

Is TTC training provided in Spanish?

The FDOT does not permit providers of TTC training to offer the class in any language other than English. You may ask why? The answer is that the 600 series design standards, which are essentially the backbone of the entire MOT process are written in English and require a person who can fluently speak and read English.

Is there special accommodations for TTC training and exams?

No. Public Safety is at stake and any person responsible for Temporary Traffic Control must be able to comprehend course material and writing.

Do TTC Providers offer CEU/PDH credits to PE's?

Some training providers offer CEU/PDH credits for the Intermediate and Advanced TTC Training.
The FBPE considers TTC Training an "Area of Practice." If you are looking to receive credit make sure to ask the provider if they offer it.
If credit is available, it is the students responsibility to contact the training provider directly and report it to the board.
Provider is the company that actually did your training.

What happens if a Refresher class is cancelled by the Provider and the TTC Certificate expires before I can get rescheduled?

Form 009 allows a Provider, Student, or Student's Employer to request an extension to attend a future Refresher class due to valid reasons listed on the form. This is ONLY for Student's whose TTC Certificate will expire prior to the original registered class. All information will be verified before approval is given. If extension is approved Student may not do any TTC work related to his/her expired certificate until a valid MOT Certificate is issued.
Form must be filled out and emailed to admin@motadmin.com. After information is verified, form will be sent to FDOT. If a letter of approval is issued student must present it with the TTC Wallet Card/Certificate.
