The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) creates drug and alcohol education and training requirements for specific employees and supervisors. The specific employees and supervisors are those who carry out safety-sensitive positions and reasonable suspicion drug testing. We design our programs to meet the FAA requirements and get you DOT and FAA compliant.

Employees must receive education on both drugs and alcohol. The FAA employee drug education requirements are listed in 14 CFR part 120.115 [Opens a new browser tab]. Employee alcohol education requirements are listed in 14 CFR part 120.223. Here is a summary of the FAA employee education requirements.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Our Training:

"I really like the training product. I also like the way they do all the administration. There's not a lot of hands-on on my part. It's like on cruise control. They're very good at communicating and very transparent. We add new employees every week and we have to know their status so they can start work."

Drug training

Employers must implement a reasonable program of initial training for employees that at a minimum includes the effects and consequences of drug use on individual health, safety, and work environment; and the manifestations and behavioral cues that may indicate drug use and abuse.
