14. Certification/Training is provided by HTCP- UW Platteville Multistate-locations, 30% in Platteville Certification good for 3 Years Training is provided January thru July Skilled Technicians trained to national and state standards Certification is achieved by demonstrating proficiency thru Testing Sampling Techniques, Lab Procedures and Specification knowledge

16. Re-Certification required every 3 Years Certification now expires June of 3 rd year How: Retake the course Take the written test on exam day Schedule a test at HTCP-Platteville Attend a comprehensive testing site

21. QV sampling and testing has increased for HMA Threshold for QV testing increased from 1/30,000 tons per mix design to 1/5,000 per mix design. This requirement has increased the workload for sampling Decision was to add more samplers by utilizing AGG-Techs HMA-TBS is a self paced course on on-line.
