What happens upon completion of a training course?

Upon successful completion of a training course (Passing grade: 70%), each individual will receive login instructions on how to print their wallet-sized card and full certificate, which shows the student’s name, the Provider’s name and ID # (not applicable for Flaggers when not instructed by a Provider), the instructor’s name, the course category, and the expiration date
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.

What is the length of each course?

Providers are not authorized to issue practice exams to students prior to training or before exam

Each course is taught independently

Provider/Instructor CANNOT combine a full course and refresher (i.e. IMOT and IMOTR 2^nd day)
Provider/Instructor CANNOT combine two different levels (i.e. BMOT, IMOT, AMOT or BMOT, IMOTR, AMOTR)
Provider/Instructor must verify ALL students sitting for a Refresher has an active MOT Certificate

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 MOT/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 MOT/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 for a PDH certificate and then 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?
