In an era of evolving Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and digital adaptation, staying current as a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP Evaluation) is not optional—it’s a professional imperative. With the DOT reinforcing its expectations for SAPs to remain compliant and informed, the Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) has stepped forward once again to deliver live-facilitated SAP Qualification and Requalification training this July.
📅 Training Schedule & Format
🗓 Dates: July 8, 10, 15, and 17, 2025
🕛 Time: 12 PM to 4 PM Eastern Time
📍 Format: Live, Virtual (Zoom or Equivalent)
Whether you’re qualifying for the first time or requalifying to maintain your active SAP status, these sessions are designed to offer interactive, regulatory-compliant instruction—all from the convenience of your own workspace.
🚛 Why This Training Matters Now More Than Ever
The role of SAPs in the DOT Return-to-Duty (RTD) process has expanded significantly in recent years, especially as telehealth becomes more widespread and documentation standards become more rigorous.
This training is vital for:
-
New SAPs seeking to meet federal standards under 49 CFR Part 40
-
Seasoned professionals due for their 3-year requalification
-
EAP counselors, addiction specialists, and therapists working with DOT-regulated employees
Failing to requalify on time can result in removal from DOT SAP registries, limiting your ability to legally evaluate and support safety-sensitive employees.
📘 What You’ll Learn
This four-day course dives deep into:
-
DOT regulations & procedural updates (Post-2023 revisions)
-
Best practices for conducting remote SAP evaluations
-
Navigating complex RTD scenarios and compliance errors
-
Creating legally defensible SAP reports and documentation
-
New ethical considerations in telehealth assessments
You’ll walk away with not just a certificate—but real-world strategies and legal clarity you can use immediately.
🧩 Additional Perks
✅ Real-time Q&A with DOT experts
✅ Access to SAP case templates & evaluation tools
✅ Certificate of Completion to meet DOT audit requirements
✅ Networking with fellow SAP professionals across the U.S.
